Reel-Reel Heaven and Hell

[billfromnorthwales]

So I spend quite some time going through eBay looking for old unmarked, or charity shop donated, reel-reel tapes in the hope of finding old radio shows.


I have a fee hundred now, and I am getting indundated with Mantovani and "The Seekers".

There was some weird inverse law in the 60's and 70's where those who had the money to spend on outrageously expensive tapes, were almost certainly cursed with the worst possible taste in music  - "Black and White Minstrels" anyone.

So then I found it... and early 70's tape box that had the word "Peel" faintly written on it.

It was a radio show, starting with "Theme 1" by VdGG.

"And now John Peel..."   What will it be?

And then John introduces us to tonights concert

"Tonight's In Concert features.... America and Ralph McTell says our John.

"Oh fer "Christ's sake" says me.

Well I guess some may like him/them but it's that inverse square law of taste-money again for me.

I will post the show of course...
