I have been contributing to the wiki for a few months now, I was an enthusiastic listener to JP's show from 1979 (when I was 14) until his death, although life interfered with my listening increasingly from the early 1990s onwards. My tendency to remember matters of obsessively small detail over many years and my penchant for completeness was given full rein by John Peel at the end of his last 1989 show, when he indulged my suggestion to play out the decade with the same record he'd played it in with ("Life in the 1980s" by the Martian Schoolgirls).

I have a considerable collection of tapes in storage made partly from John's show and partly from whoever was occupying the 8 till 10 Radio 1 slot at the time, plus occasional snippets of sporting, political and other ephemera. These have an early 1980s focus but extend well into the 1990s. They are recorded mostly on a pause-button basis and are of varying quality, but it has become apparent to me that I have a lot of material which is not otherwise available on the wiki and sometimes relates to shows from which no other known recording exists. I am arranging to access these tapes in the very near future and would like to start digitising and uploading them here, especially where they include unique Peel Show material. It will be a fun project for me.

My question is what the protocol should be where I have a tape which consists of interspersed recordings featuring (say) one-third from John Peel's show and two-thirds from Kid Jensen. Should I isolate the bits from JP's show and just upload those, or should I just upload the whole tape and provide annotations saying where the recordings are from?.
