Songs From The Frontline

Tape

 * Name
 * Songs From The Frontline


 * Station
 * BBC Radio One


 * YYYY-MM
 * 14th April 1988 - 27th March 1989
 * A cassette compilation from the collection of Peel Group member mr_maudlin, recorded from the BBC Radio 1 John Peel and Andy Kershaw shows but with no DJ links.
 * A tape of African music from the Peel and Kershaw shows. The title comes from the name given to the states that bordered Apartheid South Africa.
 * These are tape-to-edits* but from a good FM signal. This tape was almost a year in the making (I would record the Peel and Kershaw shows onto cassette then edit down the tracks I liked to themed tapes - indie/electronic, sessions, world music and reggae). I must have got bored with writing down the broadcast or edit dates as they aren't on the inlay card, and there's no indication which tracks came from Peel shows and which from Kershaw.
 * The inlay card says that the recording source for the last 6 tracks was Tuner rather than Tape, which suggests they are off-air recordings, but I find that hard to believe as I wouldn't necessarily know that an African track was coming up, unless there was a special sequence or show, and I don't recall Peely doing any of those but could it be a Kershaw special?
