Gruppo was a wonderful little Dutch band and the pride of alternative Holland. I love their singles and albums. Hans Vandenberg was a very smart writer with a bit of a Bonzo's streak with regards to clever lyrics. ...In Japan they don't have stereo but kimono...that kinda work :)

    This one willl be fascinating for me - I remember listening to it in the comfort of the parental home, three weeks before moving to a strange new town (Bristol) to be a student - I must have been impressed by the Gruppo Sportivo session because on my first night off the leash I walked two miles across the outskirts of town, map in hand, to see them play at what was then Bristol Polytechnic.

Soon after that, like so many bands, they disappeared entirely, presumably back to Holland, but I still dig out their single 'rock'n'roll' occasionally.

     Today's Derby box tape is 90 minutes of the 06 September 1978 show - the third night of Paul Gambaccini standing in for Peel that week.

Sessions from Squeeze and Gruppo Sportivo

1978-09-06 (Paul Gambaccini)

I'm guessing from the slightly smoother playlists that went on this week, these were programmed by PG and not Peel

I wouldn't recommend you all rush to this one, I can only listen to about 5 seconds of Gambo before wanting to stick my head in a bucket of water. Back in 1978 he was particularly smarmy

Apologies to the Gambo fans

I'm glad that the Derby Box is generating so many positive comments, it's been a joy to rip so far (and many many thanks to Steve for keeping on top the wiki!) but today's tape confused me completely for a moment

It turns out that the original taper erased his first attempts at Tape DB003 and Tape DB009 and dubbed his favourite bits to Tape DB010. 

You can see from his original tracklists here

that everything he ticked - was dubbed to DB010 and the rest was sadly erased.

So DB010 is a compilation of sorts, but nonetheless contains

3 tracks from the end of 18 August 1978 which slightly extends the version of the show shared last week from DB002
Blast Furnace and Hits (AKA Snivelling Shits) in session
Mooo

Just over an hour of 30 August 1978 of which 40 minutes was previously avaible in lower quality on the 400 Box
Pirates and Punishment Of Luxury in session
Mooo

A couple of tracks that must have been dubbed from elsewhere (not clear where at this point) and it's impos sible to date them from the brief snippets of talking but I assume from 1978
1978-XX-XX/

And then some none-Peel content - a few songs from Rock On 19th Aug 1978 (I couldn't identify the presenter but Steve tells me it's Stuart Grundy) - includes an interview with City Boy

Many thanks Rob! Just played 780828 and it's one of the best Peel shows I've ever heard ! The audio quality is amazing, like it's from last week!Magazine were my fave band from 78 to 81. Maybe if I'd have heard the previous rip on headphones I'd have noticed it ; I hate digital artefacts - heard them a lot in the early days of mp3/sharing - like a faint bubbling noise, horrible...
