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.

  • No Decktician Log available for this show. Many thanks to Ken Garner for providing the PasB list.
  • "Long John Silver" follows Long John Baldry (but not Long John Blues). Baldry's career was reviving as a result of the success of his former sidemen Rod Stewart and Elton John and he was being promoted as a father figure of British blues. His session includes covers of the blues standards "Cocaine" and "How Long Blues", the latter originally a hit in 1928 for Leroy Carr and Scrapper Blackwell.
  • Quite a lot of current American material in the playlist, including two tracks each from albums by Carlos Santana and Buddy Miles and ZZ Top, and two from the "end of an era" compilation The Last Days Of The Fillmore. One of them is a Grateful Dead cover of Chuck Berry's "Johnny B. Goode".
