18 December 1985

Show[]

Third of five shows featuring the 1985 Festive Fifty.
Only the Festive Fifty section of the show is currently available in a continuous recording, at File 1, 3 and 4. If you have other sections of the original broadcast, please contact the Peel Newsgroup.
A recording featuring the 10,000 Maniacs and Fuzztones sessions, together with selected Festive 50 has become available at File 2. Sound quality is very good FM stereo but nearly all of JP's links were not recorded.
Another link-free mixtape at File 5 concentrating on the session tracks adds another half an hour to the available audio so around 97 minutes are now available.
Files 6/7 contains only the F50 tracks with no links but of arguably better quality. File 8/9 same for session tracks.

(Please add details of any commercial release of these sessions)
