This post is dedicated to all the 17 Seconds readers who have helped me track down hard to come-by tracks that made the John Peel Festive Fifty. Thank you all muchly…
Antihero -‘Rolling Stones T-shirt.’ mp3 (2002 Festive fifty no.5)
Antihero – ‘Who’s looking out For Number 1?’ mp3 (2001 Festive Fifty no.38)
Antihero -‘You Got Nothing (session).’ mp3 (2002 Festive Fifty no.37)
Primal Scream -‘It Happens.’ mp3
(1985 Festive Fifty no.44, b-side of All Fall Down, whihc was not in itself a Festive Fifty entry)
Buba and the Shop assistants -‘Dreaming Backwards.’ mp3 (b-side of ‘Something to do’ 7″ -not a festive fifty entry)
Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy -‘Little Boy Blue.’ mp3 (2000 Festive Fifty no.46)
Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy -‘Little Boy Blue ii.’ mp3
There will be more requests no doubt, but for now, either Steve at Teenage Kicks or I would welcome Burning Love Jumpsuit ‘Cheerleader’ if anyone can let us have it (the full version, not the two minute bit that got played on the radio!)
STOP PRESS: now in possession of the full track. Many thanks to everyone who sent it in. You rule!
