[peel] New 1998 shows

[stuartb@...]

I think the pace of change of music and sense of alternative culture had lessened and some of the original punk and post punk era tapers had lost interest. Perhaps also fewer young people saw the need for a cassette deck as part of their home entertainment system, with the rise of CDs. By the end of the 80s/early 90s the pace of change seemed to pick up again - dance, jungle, rave, grunge, so a lot more people were taping the shows. A mid to late 90s dip as the change lessened and even fewer people had tape decks, then almost complete coverage from 1999 as recording entire shows became easier again thanks to satellite box recording., and cheaper digital storage.
 

 Anyway that's my thoughts!
