As promised, a second lofi fix. It may just be because I have yet to thrash this one (146b) as much as 146a – but to my ears it’s the better mix.

Again, not a Festive 50, but I pulled out some old tapes I have of Peel for a listen. Sad / curious to relate that the tunes in this mix would not have sounded out of place in his show from 1980. I console myself with the thought that good music endures, and that the current lofi fad reminds us how good that music is / was. Alternatively my efforts to broaden my musical horizons have been a complete failure…

Track 22 is from the Festive Fifty for 1980 by John Peel – no time for the song by the Helicopters that Peel introduced – on the CD at least – but you can listen to the unedited track below…
