[peel] Wanted: Top Gear shows

[meltormentsingers@...]

Thanks for the info, I am kind of a newbie with regards to this whole "groups thing" so every bit of help is most appreciated :). 

At the moment I am writing a little essay of my own about the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band's BBC / Peel sessions because Ken Garners book is far from complete and in some places erronious.

I have a question and perhaps someone can help me out: Are the tracklistings in the Wiki supposed to reflect the tracks included in the MP3-file of the recording? I downloaded the 24th November 1968 and the one track I am looking for (yes, one by the Bonzo's :)) doesn't seem to be on it so I wondered why it is in the tracklisting.

These two Top Gear shows I have. 
John Peel - Top Gear 27 04 1969
John Peel - Top Gear 11 05 1969
I guess these aren't very rare because I got them via a wellknown filesharing site, but if you want them, I can send them to you at any time you want. As far as I know there are 8 or 9 shows from the Sixties that were recenlty found of which these below are part. I also have Peelies final Perfurmed Garden from 14th August 1967. More info here:

Anyway thanks lot so far and all the best. Below the contents of the two Top Gears
