400 Box

Background

 * Page created to track and catalogue the "400 Box" of approximately that number of cassettes featuring material from the John Peel show 1978-82, purchased jointly on eBay by the Peel newsgroup in July 2008.

Tape, Date and Gallery pages



 * Tape ID numbers follow Rocker's spreadsheet. Data on the individual tapes can be accessed on the appropriate tape pages (T001, etc). For renumbering from initial system (Tape 1, etc), please see section 7 of this page. Data for tape pages is still being copied across from Rocker's spreadsheet.


 * For information on shows, please see the relevant date pages (07 July 1978, etc). Please feel more than welcome to make corrections or add information, particularly tracklistings and session information. Just use the "Edit" link at the top right of each section. Your help is very much appreciated.


 * All pictures can be seen in one place at the 400 Box Gallery.

Renumbering

 * Due to possible confusion, the previous tape/show ID system was changed to reflect Rocker's spreadsheet and other sources. Warning: old numbers may not correspond exactly with current tape only system. The changes are as follows:

Former Tape 1 is now T001

Former Tape 2 is now T002

Former Tape 3 is now T074

Former Tape 4 is now T049 (Rocker spreadsheet suggests 31 October 1978 also from T050)

Former Tape 5 is now T095 (Rocker spreadsheet doesn't include start of 18 June 1979 mentioned by RobF)

Former Tape 6 is now T096

Former Tape 7 is now T097

Former Tape 8 is now T099 (June 28 1979 not shared yet)

Former Tape 9 is now T094 (but start of show from T095)
