[peel] More of the later half of the Derby Box

[Karl Eldridge]

I really ought to get cracking on my Jensen/Peel pause edit festival. Got quite a bit from March 1982 to Dec 1986. Will try and get the ball rolling tomorrow. In the meantime how good are these Derby tapes and how informative the posts that accompany them..?. thank you.

   DB224 contained the first 95 minutes of 9th February 1981. We are now entering the era of Mark's Mixtapes, the first of these featured the last 39 minutes of the show, so the show is now complete. Comsat Angels and Section 25 in session.

DB225 featured the first 95 minutes of 16th February 1981. This was previously almost complete from a sharer called Wavey Davey but this new share brings the usual Derby quality to proceedings and includes the first track, missing off the earlier share, perhaps because the first taper understandably thought that this wasn't the Peel show! New Order and Rezillos in session.

DB226 jumps forward another week to 23rd February 1981. The customary 95 minutes. Dr M ango previously tracklisted (shared) a 41 minute portion of the show, mostly overlapping but with an extra track so we have 101 minutes in total. Girls At Our Best and Modern Eon in session. Quite a few significant debut "own record" plays, from Altered Images, New Order and Depeche Mode, though all bands had made earlier appearances either in session or on various artists compilations.

DB227 starts to move into Karl territory, with 95 minutes of 25th February 1981, with Karl adding 3 minutes of unique content. Another Pretty Face and SLF in session, and perhaps the current Dr. Who's first appearance on the BBC.

DB228 managed to miss the first 5 minutes of 4th March 1981, fortunately the mysterious 1980-1983 Tape 061A captured the first 10 minutes. It is possible that this time it was Chris (Derby) who was confused by the unusual opening to the show, which was in celebration of Liverpool's Cup Victory that evening. Dead Or Alive and Damned in session.

DB229 was dedicated to 9th March 1981, a show already represented by two edited tapes from the Hinton Box and Mark's Fire Engines mixtape. The Hinton Box's unique 10 minutes means that when added to the Derby Box there are 105 minutes available. Fire Engines and Siouxsie And The Banshees in session. Appearances from Jonathon King and Lenny Henry....

Finally for now DB230 stored 10th March 1981, previously only available in Karl's Mixtape format. Ruts DC and Altered Images in session.

John's obsessions and neuroses of the day are quite well captured on these tapes.....
