[peel] More Karl Tapes also inlay help wanted!

[MARK LUETCHFORD]

Agree - there is some really good stuff appearing on KJ shows that I had forgotten - eg King Trigger 

Still searching for any trace of a band called So Few for Karl's Tape 06 - June 1982

And a band called A Team from peel.wikia.com/wiki/Karl%27s_Tape_17_-_April_May_1983

Although it annoys the completist in me that we can't identify them  I do like the fact that these are great tracks and yet elusive - shows how much great music there was around that even the internet doesn't have the power to unearth

I even enjoyed hearing John Wayne Goes Big Leggy again - I am sure I remember Peel playing it too but i may be wrong as the only evidence on wiki of any association with him is introducing them on totp!

Maybe i should retreat back in to my early 80's dreamworld!

Good work on these Mark (4), also by our Stealth Bomber 3904, who either 
has a better Shazam than me or a great memory!
 
I’d forgotten until recently that In Session Tonight documented all of 
those KJ sessions so you might get the Pauline black answers there, I’m away 
from home so can’t access it right now.
 
Should have known Clock DVA, I bought Advantage based on session 
trax.
 
Enjoying the challenge set by these Karl Tapes especially the KJ shows, 
despite his weakness for Kid Creole, Culture Club and Haysi Fantaysee (he must 
have seen the latent DJs in the latter 2) there have definitely been some 
interesting obscurities and great sessions such as Screen 3 which to me seems 
stronger than their Peel sessions.

June 1982 - tried my best but still two unidentified: one a track by 
Clock DVA - a fine band but I don't have enough knowledge to identify. The other 
is a mystery in that is listed as So Few but no band of that name seems to 
exist.

Karl's Tape 06 - June 1982


I'm 
off to bed - others may wish to have a go ...

Another couple of 1982 tapes now wikified.

Karl's Tape 05 - May 1982
Side A starts with Kid Jensen 
show 24th May 1982 before moving onto newly available 24 May 
1982 . Then another KJ show with an unknown session and possibly a late 
transition to a Peel show. Quite a few unknown trax though thanks to 
JohnPeel3904 for identifying them.


Side A looks like the evening 
session of 22nd June 1982. A slight mystery is the apparent Members session, 
which is not documented in In Session Tonight. The tracks are not the versions 
from the album. 4 unidentified trax. Side B moves onto edited highlights of 
newly available 22 June 1982 though another slight mystery is that a couple of 
tracks which were played that night according to the John Peel Papers, appear 
out of sequence earlier on Karl's Tape. The two possibilities are:
1. The 
said two tracks were also played on the evening session.
2. The said two 
tracks were squeezed in to a gap at the end of side 1 and start of side 2. This 
could only have happened through a tape to tape dub, as there would not have 
been enough time to catch the next track on a pause button first generation 
tape. So Karl, is option 2 a possibility? If not I'll keep those tracks as part 
of the Evening 
Session.
