Which are John Peel's 140 fave albums?

Nice work everyone, just wish I had the opportunity to download 'em all :o(

oh, and
121. The Versalites - Cutting rasor + Black belt Jones (DL INTERNATIONAL)

should be

121. The Versatiles/Lee Perry - Cutting Razor + Black Belt Jones

(7" of which is currently selling for 70 euros in places... but also on Kung Fu Meets The Dragon, Lee Perry cd)

http://home.clara.net/koogy/music/070_Emerlist_Davjack_Trailer.mp3
(for a limited time only)

koogs: That trailer has clips of loads of different Nice songs, but more in their better-known prog-rock vein. Emerlist Davjack was their debut single, and hence more psychedelic pop.

If anyone's looking for Mike Spencer & The Cannibals, then be advised that the slow blues B-side "Nothing takes the place of you" was the track that Peel rated (and played to death in the late 70s). I seem to remember him dismissing the actual A-side as nothing special.

Including some too-obvious-to-YSI stuff (ie. Undertones), I've now got at least one track from 68 of the 130 singles listed (the other 12 being duplicate copies). That's 52%.

am surprised by the lack of Pavement (um, $30-80) and 'My Friend Jack" (eats sugarlumps? is it that one?)

the boards of canada 7" is $320 on gemm!
the revelino is 79p on amazon 8)

(80 tracks, 4 hours and a minute according to winamp)

i'm convinced that the emerlist davjack trailer is the 7" in his box (because of the personal connection) so i have both that and the emerlist davjack mike posted (because its good). (i'll count them as one in the future, save any confusion). everything else matches.

The White Stripes - Jolene (7 inch)

I also have a very poor quality version of La Peste - Better Off Dead (which is a great song). If no one else has a better one, I'll post it later.

I work for the BBC but sadly no longer for a department that requires requesting records from the library. A lot of the stuff played on Peel wasn't kept in the BBC library anyway (I checked when working in radio to see if I could order a Bonnie Prince Billy record...)

Anyone looking for that "Hooten 3-Car" record might be helped by knowing that I strongly suspect that they were actually called Hooton 3-Car. It's the name of a particular train on the Merseyside metro, or something.

That's another typo. It's actually Jerry Byrd.

It's rather large (277mb). Wish I knew how to set up a torrent.

1: Create a big folder for the files
2: Create subfolders for each of the 142 seven-inches
3: Drop the existing files in the right folders, with a consistent naming scheme
4: Create a .torrent of all that (possibly using TorrentZip: http://www.pleasuredome.org.uk/mameftpgroup/index.php?full#tzip )
5: Hand out the torrent so that everyone can start downloading (and encourage those who have most of the files in the torrent already to put them in the right places so the torrent gets seeded much faster)
6: When new files are added, update the .torrent file and publish it - it'll only download the new stuff

This is very similar to how the PleasureDome MAME ROMs torrent works:
