- Other
- Originally shared through assorted torrents/uploads, brought together on a now-defunct Julian Tapes (torrent) by "bbrbr57", also via Peel Newsgroup. Some of the original cassettes were running fast and the speed of the digital files may need adjustment. This is possible using Audacity and similar software.
- File 2 seems to be a larger file, 165Mb v 110Mb and 192kbps v 128kbps but starts at the exact same time as file 1, and seems to have more ringing distortion.
- Many thanks to Julian, Kev and "bbrbr57"!
- File 3 recorded by Mike Dick who gave a copy to the BBC archive.
- Please address re-up requests to Peel Newsgroup.
