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.

Comments
  • Opens by telling listeners that Steel Pulse's Handsworth Revolution album is at number 9 in the album charts and "shows that we're not wasting our time completely".
  • First track is "a bonus for heavy metal fans who may be feeling slightly disenfranchised".
  • Among the albums heavily featured are the first by the Rolling Stones (from 1963) and the latest by Mick Farren, whose LP featured guest appearances from fellow NME journalist Chrissie Hynde, Curved Air singer Sonja Kristina and former Dr. Feelgood guitarist Wilko Johnson, although not on these tracks, plus the debut from DMZ.
  • An early Tubeway Army single also gets a play.
  • John also mentions ? (Ascones, Scones, Scums) Buzzcocks and Marie Et Le Garçons

  • 1) Originally shared through assorted torrents/uploads, brought together on a now-defunct Julian Tapes (torrent) by "bbrbr57", also via Peel Newsgroup. Some of the original cassettes were running fast and the speed of the digital files may need adjustment. This is possible using Audacity and similar software. Many thanks to Julian, Kev and "bbrbr57"!
  • 2) Created from PM093 of the PM Tapes, digitised by Tim. Many thanks to Peter Mitchell for making the recordings.
  • Please address re-up requests to Peel Mailing List.
