[peel] Tom In Atlanta No More - but still has 300 tapes.

[Stuart Brooks]

Thanks again Rob. There's a wee break in the Lowman tapes as well, but the Dweemis mixtapes are still trickling in plus there has been a new share of a tape from August 1983, the 23rd and 24th. Details on the wiki ..... It's had us scratching our heads a bit as some of what John says conflicts with Ken's book and the British Library further muddied  the waters! (see Johnpeel3904's wall on the wiki for full details)
