The master wiki page for the tape box is here

<http://peel.wikia.com/wiki/Tom_Roche_BBC_World_Service_Tapes>
And thanks to those who have busily been creating tracklisting pages for
the last batch of shows

The next 10 tapes cover:

1988-03-14 John Peel In Russia Part 2 BBC World Service TR011
1988-03-21 John Peel BBC World Service TR011
1988-06-27 John Peel BBC World Service TR013
1988-09-25 John Peel BBC World Service TR014
1988-10-17 John Peel BBC World Service TR015
1988-12-05 John Peel BBC World Service TR016
1989-05-29 John Peel BBC World Service TR020
1989-06-12 John Peel BBC World Service TR019
1989-06-19 John Peel BBC World Service TR019
1989-06-26 John Peel BBC World Service TR019
1989-08-07 John Peel BBC World Service TR020
1989-09-25 John Peel BBC World Service TR018
1992-10-05 John Peel BBC World Service TR012
1994-05-28 John Peel BBC World Service TR012


Two of these shows on TR019 were only 15 minutes, as opposed to the usual
30 minutes. Peel does not offer a reason why, other than to describe them
as "truncated" and "bisected".
