[peel] New 400 Box shows

[RobF]

The 400 Box certainly honed our detective skills didn't it?

The Derby Box is not only presented in lovely FM Stereo quality, but also
each tape is sequentially numbered and with a lovingly handwritten
tracklist (all except the last few tapes). The only anomalies were a lot of
guess work on his dates, but given that he noted the session guests on
every tape, Steve TK has worked out most of the show dates on the wiki
already.

I'm not missing the 400 Box speed correction, white mould, broken tape
issues that's for sure.
