The Peel Tapes Vol.8

Tape

 * Name
 * The Peel Tapes Volume 8 (work in progress)


 * Station
 * BBC Radio One


 * YYYY-MM
 * 1989-03/04


 * A cassette compilation from the collection of Peel Group member mr_maudlin, recorded from the BBC Radio 1 John Peel show but with no DJ links
 * These are Hi-FiVHS-to-tape edits from a good FM signal
 * The edit dates from the inlay card: tracks 1-8 20Mar89; 9-14 27Mar89; 15-21 3Apr89; 22-24 17Apr89; 25-28 18Apr89. I would usually make the edits a few days after broadcast.
 * Side one of the tape (tracks 1-14) sound a little dull, even more so for the first 3 which Peel played from a demo tape from the band Screaming Custard. Side two is clearer (tracks 15-28) as I was using a new cassette deck. There are some notes on the inlay card, presumably from Peely's introductions, so I've included these as they may help to date some of the tracks. The final track is an excerpt from a show but I don't think it is a Radio 1 clip, more likely to be from the BBC Radio Cambridgeshire show he did around 1989/90. I kept it originally as he reads out my name in a competition to win a copy of the Pixies Doolittle LP.
 * TDK AR-90
