Wow great stuff Paul.

What 70's shows have you already digistised and can you post them anywhere?

And of course if you have any Peel introduced shows then that is a real bonus.

You do know about our groups In Concert Mooo folder don't you?

With that and your collection, we would have a very impressive archive

The 200 that I've already transferred are various years from 1970 up to 1988 and again, ALL in superb sound quality.
