Which are John Peel's 140 fave albums?

http://s9.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1S76V37QMM7V93EXRL54KQCARO

047 Jerry Byrd - Memories of Maria

can be found on a very cheap "country instrumental" compilation CD, which i'd be glad to pick up soon unless someone has the actual 45 (the b-side is not included in the CD)

072 Nilsson - Kojak Columbo

is on a pretty bad Nilsson record called "Duit on Mon Dei", again available pretty cheaply, I think.

081 Revelino - Step on high

I think I recall someone saying they had this..if not, the CD single is all over the place.

086 Sasha Caro - Grade 3 section 2

Very curious about this one--don't think it's ever been anthologized. Caro was a Cat Stevens protege.

090 Sipho Bhengu - Tickey dopies

my vote for hardest single to find on the list

I'm pretty sure someone has the Revelino, and that it is en route?

I'll second the vote for Sipho Bhengu being the hardest to find. If anyone has South African or New Zealand contacts (he was popular there, it seems), this is the time to call in a favor.

it cost me 79p (plus postage) but hasn't turned up yet...

PRESS STATEMENT BY INKATHA FREEDOM PARTY

MURDERED IFP MAYOR TO BE BURIED ON SATURDAY

Durban: February 17, 2005

The IFP's KwaZulu-Natal Spokesperson, Mr Velaphi B. Ndlovu today announced that the Mayor of Imbabazane Municipality, Mr Sipho Bhengu, who was shot dead last Saturday evening, will be buried on Saturday, 19th February 2005.

The funeral will take place at his family home, KwaDlamini, in Ntabamhlophe and will begin at 10h00. (Ntabamhlophe is approximately 20 km's outside Giants Castle in KwaZulu-Natal.)

A high ranking delegation of IFP leaders will be present at the funeral to pay their last respects to Sipho Bhengu who has always been a shining example of what true service to the community really means.

The delegation will include the IFP's National Chairperson Dr Ziba Jiyane, the Secretary-General Rev. Musa Zondi, the Deputy Secretary-General Prof. Themba Msimang, the IFP Women's Brigade National Secretary Ms. Zanele Magwaza and KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Spokesperson Mr Velaphi Ndlovu, among others.

"Sipho Bhengu (41) surely died the way he would have wished - in the middle of a concert and without any major trauma. He was appearing with the mbaqanga group Soul Brothers at a concert at King’s Park stadium to celebrate the first anniversary of Isolezwe, Independent Newspapers’ Zulu-language newspaper.

Soul Brothers was the last group on the programme and afterwards Sipho asked another member of the group to support him because he suddenly felt dizzy. He then collapsed and died before the emergency services arrived. "

I've got some other info about him if you scroll up, including a warning to googlers that there's another Sipho Bhengu.

i'll happily chip in if someone wants to buy that cajun cd. i can do paypal but am geographically challenged when it comes to buying american cds (postage and insurance costs on that one site effectively double the price of the cd)

that nillson cd varies wildly in price ($11.40 - $30.00):

but, again, i can chip in.

Can't explain why, but I love the Mighty Avengers track. The White Stripes are everywhere, but they are just so ******* good!!!

Thanks for the offer. Three from anything not posted in the last seven days would take me three nearer to the set. Possibly something like Golinsky Brothers, Galactic Symposium & Charlie Feathers would be excellent as I don't know any of them. Like your listed tastes in music by the way.

Out of all the tracks available on John's Dandelion label, he urged me to listen to "The Asmoto Running Band" by Principle Edwards Magic Theatre. It may not have been a 45 and hence not in the box. He thought the song was slightly insane but strangely wonderful. It's worth a listen!!!

If no one else has already, I'll try to get Jerry Byrd then--at the least "Memories of Maria" but hopefully "Invitation" as well (think "Invitation" is also known as "Invitation to Love")

Thanks for the file. I very much appreciate your efforts.

John Peel sent me his personal spare copy of a CD by Medicine Head called "New Bottles/Old Medicine" with a hand written note. If anyone is interested, I can upload pictures + the two tracks "His Guiding Hand" & "This Love of Old". These are already uploaded, but this CD was John's personal copy. It clearly meant a lot to him as the two tracks finished up in his box & more than one copy. Someone would have to briefly explain how I upload a song from windows media player + pictures.

I will also try assist with missing tracks.

A zip of all the songs up until about a week ago. There may be duplicates and incorrect songs in it, as this was before I cleaned it all up. It is a big file.

Awesome!!!!!!

many, many thanks.

002 Al Ferrier - I'm Not Drinking More
008 Arthur K Adams - Wildwood flower

These are about as obscure, really, as the Sipho record...i've seen barely any information about them, esp. Adams.

Just to catch everyone up (since there's a lot in the thread now): I'm still working local connections for the Pocket Fishrmen B-side. As far as I can tell it's never appeared on cd. The XL Capris B side is on its way to me from Australia, so it may take a couple of weeks to show.

I think I have managed to acquire the Scrugg side (ie the Real Geraldine one) overnight. I'll check the quality when I get home tonight and if its OK, will YSI

Poor Dreamland Express has the misfortune of being a John Denver tune, a Hindi film, and a children's movie. One of the few sites that has any info is in Czech, and IDs Stephen Stewart as their guitarist:
