Brilliant work Stuart. If you’re bored you should do what I’m thinking of doing. Getting all the shows (from various people’s folders) and putting them in chronological order for the whole of JP’s career.
 
Then I can just listen to all the shows there are in a row. Starting with the earliest.
 
You’ve probably already done this, I guess

MY12 produced a mainly continuous section of 1st March 2001, though only 7 minutes are new.
 
Finally MY14 added some edited tracks (with intros) to 10th September 1998.
 
All the other tapes were duplicates of shows already available complete in good quality so weren't shared.
 
That's my tape backlog cleared. So what to do now... I have still a few Derby Box tapes to re-rip (the Memorex ones with the dodgy pressure pads from the first half of the box).

I've been racking my brains as to how to encourage more people to share their old stashes of tapes. There must still be loads out there. 

Short of asking someone on Twitter with a lot of followers (hem hem - hello Mr Quantick) to put out an APB then I guess we're stuck scouring Gumtree  and eBay

On the subject of eBay, I had my dummy listing (pointing people at the wiki and asking if anyone had any tapes)  removed yet again. I think they have periodic sweeps of all listings that contain links to external sites.

There is a new Billy Bragg At The BBC compilation out today, which has many selections from his various Peel Sessions, along with some other pretty great BBC archive tracks

What's currently got me confused thought is the last Peel Session track on the comp is a cover of the Lee Hays track called Lonesome Traveller - dated 8th December 2004. 

Obviously this is after Peel's death, when Rob Da Bank was presenting. There is no mention of this track on the wiki for the 8th Dec 2004, so I guess that was the recording date at MV. It's not mentioned in Ken's book either

I finally found it on the wiki for the show 23rd Dec
Where is is listed as a Peel Session track, but neither Ken's book or the wiki mention BB in specifically in session that  night (and it's the only BB track played)

I suspect the answer is in the file, but the link on the wiki is dead and I can't immediately find it elsewhere

Does anyone have it?
Cheers

I’ve got a small number of tapes to do once I get my Nakamichi tape deck back. But every day I check my saved searches on eBay, and I check all the cassette listings on gumtree and Facebook marketplace, so if I spot anything, I will definitely buy them. Also, as I have a general interest in cassette tapes and reel to reel, I am always picking up job lots and going through them, and I occasionally find a Peel show or two.

Nothing more than the useful info offered by Dr Mango. The only outstanding questions are whether this should really be considered a Peel Session track (ie was it recorded at a BBC studio specifically for the Peel Show) and if so did he record anything else at that session that was never broadcast.

Not sure if I fit your criteria, but here goes: I have a collection of some 50 or so tapes. I purchased a cheap analogue to digital tape converter but haven’t yet got round to doing anything, principally because I don’t know what I’m doing. Whilst the tapes come from the Peel Show with occasional Kershaw, I used to select the tracks I like rather than record the whole programme, so next to no dialogue. All the tapes are from the 1980s, an era that is covered well by the good people on this project. So, if anyone could send me an idiot’s guide I could have a crack myself sometime. Otherwise I would be happy to put in the hands of an expert. But like I said, don’t know if this is what you’re after.
Best

Hi Jon,

I would say that the cheap cassette converters are not really up to much, and won’t get the best out of those tapes, so it’s possible it might be better for Stuart or myself to digitise them, as we have Nakamichi decks. I’m sure Stuart will be in touch soon. It might be more his thing, as I prefer doing shows that are more complete, as those are easier for me to date. 
Thanks for letting us know about these :-)

Not sure if I fit your criteria, but here goes: I have a collection of some 50 or so tapes. I purchased a cheap analogue to digital tape converter but haven’t yet got round to doing anything, principally because I don’t know what I’m doing. Whilst the tapes come from the Peel Show with occasional Kershaw, I used to select the tracks I like rather than record the whole programme, so next to no dialogue. All the tapes are from the 1980s, an era that is covered well by the good people on this project. So, if anyone could send me an idiot’s guide I could have a crack myself sometime. Otherwise I would be happy to put in the hands of an expert. But like I said, don’t know if this is what you’re after.

I've been racking my brains as to how to encourage more people to share their old stashes of tapes. There must still be loads out there. 

Short of asking someone on Twitter with a lot of followers (hem hem - hello Mr Quantick) to put out an APB then I guess we're stuck scouring Gumtree  and eBay

On the subject of eBay, I had my dummy listing (pointing people at the wiki and asking if anyone had any tapes)  removed yet again. I think they have periodic sweeps of all listings that contain links to external sites.

Hi John.

I really don't know much about how these cheap converters work, I assume you just connect them via USB and you end up with an mp3 file using the software provided.

If you then have an mp3 file on your PC or laptop you can upload to where we put our files, on the Mooo server. There's a link to an upload form on this webpage here http://mooo.peelwiki.com/dl/incoming/Upload.html and you will also see there is an option to request a user folder and you then get a password for ftp upload, which is handy if you have a lot of uploads.

As Tim says the quality of the cheap converters is variable, sometimes poor, but you could maybe upload one of the tapes to see what it's like. What equipment were they recorded on?

But I'm more than willing to do all the work myself if you are happy to send me the tapes. There's probably a very good chance that many of your tapes will be new, as only about a third of the 80s has been found so far. And with some tracklistings available for unshared shows then it would be possible to date some of them too.

Hi Steve,

Yep, as the owner of the '500 Box' (or as I later calculated, the '750 Box') we used to work in harness to get shows out there.

I took an extended break when a flood of contemporaneous shows appeared from other sources. Watching as these tapes were digitised and shared I believe the vast majority of the 500 box is now available on the wiki.

A small handful of tapes may still harbour original material but these now sit in the loft behind thousands of comics and other signs of a life wasted.

If the 90s well is truly dry I'll steel myself to go back in and cross-reference my collection with what is still missing.

It might take a month or two so more anon.

Cheers,

Colin.

According to Ken Garner's Peel Session book, Peel's show got 5 nights a week from 29th September 1975. The Boxer session was first broadcast on 10th November 1975 (there was no other bands doing that session on that show according to Ken Garner's book) and repeated on 30th January 1976 (also no other bands doing a session on that show according to Ken Garner's book). But on the audio, Peel says that he'll play two classic sessions, one of them is Boxer. The way he said it, sounds like Boxer's session was done some years ago. 

There is a possibility that the audio maybe a show from the early 80's called Peel's Pleasures, where he did have archive 70's session tracks played, but the voice of that doesn't match the one in the audio. In the early 80's, Peel's voice was quite different from his pre-punk 70's shows, so it can't be that.

It can't be Rock Week, because that lasted from January 1975 until September 1975. The Boxer session was first broadcast on 10th November 1975. In the audio, I've noticed Peel says "we're hoping to go back through our archives as it were, into the past of this programme and into the past of Top Gear to dig out classic sessions and replay them for you"

Top Gear I believe ended in September 1975. Boxer's first broadcast was 10th November 1975 and was repeated on 30th January 1976. If it was 30th January 1976, would you say "dig out classic sessions and replay them for you". I wouldn't and I don't think Peel would say that if it was a 30th January 1976 show.

Could be 20th April 1977 when he repeated the Boxer session? The nearest snippet of show that I could find to that date is another April 1977 show. Hard to compare as this one is much less muffled
But it certainly looks like around that time he was digging out more old sessions to play alongside the new sessions

Doesn't this suggest that we can continue as we have been doing, sending emails to the group? Apart from the occasional upload to the files section, this group doesn't use the other functionality that it would appear is being withdrawn.

Thanks guys, yes I think there is strong evidence that the audio is from 20th April 1977. It seems plausible, as Peel is referring to the Boxer session as if it was sometime ago (more than a year) and also as Stuart says, the amount of hours per show was increased to 2 hours from 4th July 1977, which Peel makes a reference to in terms of the number of hours doubled.

I know we have had a few bits and pieces in the Files section, but the rest is unused apart from the archive of the mail conversations - which has been quite useful when going back to try and remember what was said about some obscure thing or other in 2007!

But yes for now it looks like the email functionality will continue

Question is whether people want to move to a web-based platform, There are the Reddit groups, plus several Facebook groups, but I suspect a lot of us are happy to just stay as we are. Setting up our own ListServ should be fairly straightforward - I'll do some digging

The article says:

"Once the old content is deleted, all you’ll be able to do on Yahoo Groups is browse the groups directory, request to be invited to one, and, if you’re in a group, email that group."

Doesn't this suggest that we can continue as we have been doing, sending emails to the group? Apart from the occasional upload to the files section, this group doesn't use the other functionality that it would appear is being withdrawn.

i think it's debatable as to how long yahhogroups will exist in a new extremely neutered sense. 

most groups i belong to are opting for groups.io. from what i've seen, and i apologize if i am repeating things already known, with groups.io we can start a new group for free (as long as content size remains under 1GB), or we can get a premium group for $110/year, which will allow us to transfer everything, including members, as long as one of the yahoo group admins sends an invite to a specific groups.io email, and then gives it moderator access. the premium fee need only be paid the first year for the transfer if that's all we need it for.

happy to help set this up, but i don't know who our admins and moderators are for the current yahoo group

It's not 100% clear - it says:

Here’s Yahoo’s list of what it will remove:

  • Files
  • Polls
  • Links
  • Photos
  • Folders
  • Calendar
  • Database
  • Attachments
  • Conversations
  • Email Updates
  • Message Digest
  • Message History

Preserving the content. 

I have been using a tool called PG Offline to download the conversations, files and photos from this and a number of other Yahoo Groups that I am a member of. The files, links and photos are download as files within a folder structure on disk and the conversations/posts are loaded into a SQLLite database from which they can be extracted and parsed. 

At the moment I have the following downloaded/archived. 
  • Conversations/Posts = 24,432
  • Files = 104 / 101 MB
  • Photos = 140 / 30MB
  • Links = 28 
As was mentioned previously, groups.io appears to have functionality to migrate data. It would seem worth doing this just have an online backup.

It appears that transfers to groups.io are not free, they require a premium or enterprise subscription - https://groups.io/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Transfer-from-Yahoo-Groups

Well, nice to them to let us know! (As group ownerr, I’ve heard nothing). Will be sad to see it go but to be honest the mechanism for the list has neen in decline since Yahoo took over eGroups in 2000 (this list was set up probably around 1998 or so as an eGroup).

Not sure what to suggest - Google Groups aren’t very widely used, and I don’t really get the way Reddit operates in terms of the moderation of topics. A couple of groups from ‘back in the day’ went to running mailservers but that requires someone with the space, expertise, capacity and time to administer them. But I suppose if someone comes up with something that works then great…

yes, it's $110 to use the groups.io migration tool. probably better than trying to cajole you into uploading all that content, heh
