Reel to reel tapes

[steve]

Just to let everyone I've done a bit of updating on the wiki, adding a new page for the Decktician Reels:

http://peel.wikia.com/wiki/Decktician_Reels

Would be great if folks could help out by adding track details, etc, on the appropriate tape pages.

Just press the big red Edit button at the top of the page, write in the info in the editing window and then click the red Preview and Publish tabs below the editing window. Don't worry too much about the layout. Can easily be sorted.

I'm mega-ignorant on this period, so all help would be much appreciated.

Many thanks to Ken for info below, which I've added to the appropriate page. Looking forward to the Decktician Logs to come in the summer.

Cheers,

SW

There are 3 volumes of decktician's logs to go, one from mid 1973, one from late 74 over into early 75, and the final one from late 75. Of course there is no guarantee his tape fragments specifically relate to the shows for which his logs survive, though he told me that he suspects some of them might.
