SL Tapes (non-Peel)

[Dr Mango]

Time to wrap up the last batch of tapes I did with details of the non-Peel elements that are now available for download, should you wish.

>From tape L235 comes two sections of the Andy Kershaw show from 5 December 1992 (Lucky Dube in session). Side A has 41 minutes, starting about 7 minutes into the programme, whilst side B gives up the final 29 minutes of the show with the subsequent handover to JP.

Tape L238 similarly contains two chunks of Andy Kershaw from 28 November 1992 (John Delafose and the Eunice Playboys in session). Side A has the first 45 minutes of the programme, with the 11:30 news unusually intact. Side B has the final 21 minutes of the show again with AK's handover to Peel.

Tape L239 follows the same pattern - Side A has 45 minutes from the start of Andy Kershaw's show from 14 November 1992 (Mighty Sparrow in session) whilst on the flip is the final 29 minutes of the show with handover to JP.

Tape L240 contains segments of Andy Kershaw from 13 June 1992 (Miracle Legion in session). Side A cuts into the show after about 7 minutes but fills up the available tape. Over on side B, Kershaw's show is concluded with an 18 minute section before continuing with the Peel show that followed it.

I managed to get all the sections to piece together the complete Andy Kershaw show from 16 May 1992 (David "Honeyboy" Edwards in session), minus edits for the news and tape flips. The show starts on side A of tape L251 before flipping to Side A of tape L249. It concludes back on side B of tape L251.

The final slice of Kershaw is 33 minutes from 19 September 1992 (Sheila Chandra in session) which was found on side A of tape L253. The recording seems to be from somewhere in the middle of the show.

[I should mention another Kershaw recording from this batch, that of 24 October 1992 (West Nkosi & Cheb Khaled in session) from tape L236. This was the tape that snapped on me so was ripped and shared earlier by Stuart].

Two other non-Kershaw recordings from this batch are:

>From side B of tape L237, 43 minutes of an Annie Nightingale request show. The "Alternative 25" apparently. This includes the handover to Gary Davies who is on next. What a treat.

Finally, tape L242 yielded up a complete edition of Radio 3's "Mixing It", presumably from April 1992 as a couple of concert dates for early May are read out. Diamanda Galas is the guest on the show. This recording was incredibly crackly, with countless static clicks throughout. I've spent an insane amount of time cleaning it up, manually de-clicking it - effort that far outweighs the value of the recording, I'm sure. Oh well, at least it's now in a more pleasant state to be listened to.

All files can be find on the moo in relevant subfolders:
