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.

Footnotes[]

  1. Decktician's Log names the track as "Let's Make Up And Be Friendly". This is the name of the album and a track of this name does not appear on it.
  2. Originally released on the 5x5 EP in 1964, but likely played from this recently released compilation.
  3. Originally the b-side of Johnny B. Goode released in 1958. Decktician's Log suggests the track was played from an LP, presumably one of the many compilations on which it has appeared.
