Introduction[]
Page to catalogue the collection of Peel tapes shared in 2009 by Peel Newsgroup member "IAParkin".
- (IAP: Message to newsgroup)
I have been a lurker here for quite a while and may have something to contribute. I have recently digitised a fair few cassette tapes of John Peel shows from the late 80s to early 90s and am wondering if there is any interest. Most are full shows - songs + JP talking. Much of the charm of JP for me was the in-between song banter. The tapes were a mix of Type I and Type II tapes, with most being Type II. They were transferred via a Nakamichi Cassette 2 -> RCA -> mini > mac -> Audacity -> WAV format. The WAV files were then converted to both FLAC and MP3 formats. The total size of the MP3 and FLAC files are: 9.1G MP3_TAPES 30G FLAC_TAPES

It has been a while, but I have finally uploaded the files to a webhost that offers unlimited disk space and bandwidth. Let's see if that is true :)
HELP WANTED
While the majority of these tapes have now been fully tracklisted, a few remain undated and contain the odd unidentified track. Any help in completing the pages would be much appreciated.
