John Peel Wiki

Changes to the look of John Peel Wiki will take place in the near future due to a new skin being rolled out over Oct/Nov across Wikia. Please see the Wikia Staff Blog for further details. On this site, the changes will affect the navigation from the left menu, as well as introduce a fixed page width with narrower content space. Please be patient while adjustments are made for the switch to the new system.

UPDATE: As the change is now in force for some users, I have switched the navigation to the simplified one for the new system. Please check Navigation in the Help section if you can't find things. I also initially made small adjustments to the front page layout, but have now reverted to the old look until all users are on the new system.

COUNTDOWN: Just a reminder for people still using Monaco that the final switch to the new skin is due on Nov. 3. After that, it will no longer be offered as an option. Sorry. Nothing to do with me.

  • Peel's intro: "After the triumph of last night's programme we're back to wilful obscurantism and trouble, with sessions from New Order and Vice Squad."
  • Peel isn't a fan of hot weather: "I don't like all this heat, do you? I know that... it's un-British, I like the British weather really when it rains and there's always the expectation of a bit of snow in July and things like that. I think that's quite healthy and good for us and unexpected. This kind of heatwave and all this heat that we've been getting and the sunshine I regard as a great deal of Continental nonsense and I think we can do without it." See also the comment made on 22 September 1982.
  • The Stanley Winston track made Peel's My Top Ten list in 1984 and was later found in John Peel's Record Box.

Sessions[]

The New Order session was the first to be released as a 12" EP by the Strange Fruit label (cat. SFPS001, 1986). The group's first two sessions were later compiled onto a single LP (cat. SFRLP110, 1990).

This session also features on Power Corruption And Lies, 'Definitive' digital & physical releases (2020).

Tracklisting[]

JP: Nag of Four(sic), and that's from the LP Songs of the Free. "Life! It's a Shame". And indeed it is, actually, because Neil came in while the record was playing, and was telling me about he's been invited to go to the derby tomorrow. Not me. Nobody invites me to go to the derby, but old Neil, he goes, and Mrs Neil and his producer, and everybody, just as many people as he wants to take along, but not me!

  • B Team: What Is This? (single)
  • Eek-A-Mouse: For Hire And Removal (7") Volcano

JP: I must ask DLT to get these cans of his fixed because they're most peculiar tonight. I sound like a castrate to myself, I hope I don't at your end.

JP: When I was playing that in the office earlier on, one of the Radio 1 secretaries actually stuck her head in through the door and said, "hey, that's pretty good." and that's not something that happens a great deal, I must admit.
