Missing JAMs

Hi Jamfans

I emailed the ABC about the missing 'Joy' broadcast. They're looking for it right now! And that got me thinking about the other missing bottles of JAM...

I then got to creating stub files to fill in the places of the missing episodes in my collection when it occurred to me that we should really get active on the missing JAM episodes... and what better time than now during 45th anniversary fever?

What we need, methinks, is publicity, and the man for the job is (I reckon) our Dean who has done some BBC hobnobbing and could maybe nob some further hobs to forward our destiny. Or someone else who has the time and/or monomania required.

How about we ask the BBC (very nicely) to start promoting a search for missing JAMs?
They could put a link on their website to a 'Missing JAM' page (to be created on Dean's site, perhaps, or I could do it on nylon.net)
 
They could add a voiceover at the end of the episodes in the next series of radio JAM (or even TV if it returns?) asking for people to rummage in their attics for tapes. It might arouse some garage reel-to-reel recorder who might have an extant recording for us. Maybe. It can't hurt to ask.

We've found one missing episode just within our little community, so the chances will be greatly magnified if the larger unwashed masses also started rooting in their archives.
