05 May 1995

Nothing to do with the 400 Box, but while looking for an old mix tape in the basement today I was rummaging around (the dust down there is life threatening ... there's no lengths I won't go thru) and ran across another Peel show - 2 tapes dated 1995-05-05.

The result is this new rip from old tapes, probably requested in trade for something back in the day. If it already circulates, sorry for the duplication. If not, initial impressions while ripping were ... not as strong as the 1993 PJHarvey show, but still pretty solid, and seems to be the full braodcast -- with news & adverts -- except for a missing outro at the very end.

Sessions are from ROC and Donkey, so someone please check the facts on this date against Ken's book for validity please!

I also ran across a tape labeled The Fall Peel birthday BBC -- is this something of interest, or readily available?
