 * A 65-minute compilation of the retrospective shows Peel put out in August 1976. Looking at this file now, I'm amazed to find that it's been two years since I ripped it from Colin's cassette. I was always planning to try and tidy it up a bit as there's speed issues, tape hiss, all sorts. But I think it's time to just upload it now and see what others make of it.
 * Ken's The Peel Sessions p.216 (halfway down column three) describes these shows, which are basically drawing a line under the Top Gear years and, in hindsight, clearing the way for punk, New Wave and beyond. You'll hear the unseen hand of the person who originally taped the shows, and, as mentioned earlier, a lot of tape hiss and other problems.

 * (Eddie) Don't bother at all if sound quality is your only god. We're talking pretty lo-fi stuff here. But hopefully very interesting stuff too.
