The Peel Tapes Vol.23

; Name
*The Peel Tapes Volume 23
; Station
*BBC Radio One
; YYYY-MM
*1993
*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 (apart from two tacked on the end of each side of this cassette). The show was recorded on Hi-Fi VHS then edited to cassette from a good FM signal.
*Favourite tracks: Paid Programming, A Moist Towelette (according to Discogs, Posterchild would become Lambchop) and Web In Front.
*Records bought at the time: Blueboy, The McTells, Eggs, Tsunami, That Dog (the 4AD reissue) and The Archers Of Loaf. The record labels and formats were noted down at the time.
*The ripping process nearly always results in me buying a copy of at least of one of the tracks from the tape, usually something on CD from Discogs or Amazon Marketplace; or even a re-release from someone like Cherry Red (so at least the artist can get some long delayed royalties from me). But often I find the purchased CD or vinyl doesn't really deliver the goods. Obviously the notional sound quality is far better than my dubbed tape copy of the song - but it seems that the magic attributed to the track is inextricably linked to the format it is on and how it got to be there. By that I mean the cassette has a value to you over and above just the sound quality, holding it reminds you of what you were doing at that time, and how important Peel probably was to your life then (if you were making tapes then he was probably quite important) and that can't really be replicated by having another (better quality) version of the same song. Though of course that won't stop me from trying.
