[peel] Re: Derby Box begins..

[RobF]

A shorter Derby Box update today, given the fun and games I had with DB090
(now all sorted)

DB088 and DB089 contained the full show from 27 June 1979
<http://peel.wikia.com/wiki/27_June_1979> which was already available in
full from the 400 Box
Sessions from Leyton Buzzards and The Raincoats. The usual sound upgrade

DB089 and DB090 contained a new unshared show from 09 July 1979
<http://peel.wikia.com/wiki/09_July_1979>
Sessions from The Chords and Gang Of Four. Despite the tape problems the
show is complete at 1 hour 59mins

The remainder of DB090 contained 42 minutes of the show from 12 July 1979
<http://peel.wikia.com/wiki/12_July_1979>
1 hour 16 minutes was previously shared from the 400 Box, but this new rip
contains the opening track which was missing from the 400 Box version.
Session from Agony Column
