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.

  • Buzz Hungry: The Envictor (7 inch ) Singles Only Label
(JP: ‘This is the Future Sound Of London and yet in a rather special way it isn’t.)
(JP: ‘Is ridicule more effective than bad temper? Discuss.’)
(After letting it play for about 30 seconds JP re-starts the Trumans Water single at the correct speed.)
(11:30 news)
(JP: ‘And you’re back with the Peel wing ding: another centre of stability.’)
(JP: ‘While you are considering all of the new formats and I know that you all will be because you can’t wait to get into them if I know you. Whether you’re gonna have the XKE or the BRM or the ERA or whatever it is you're gonna go for, consider this the 5 inch single. This is from the Melvins.’)
(JP: ‘Of course there was an earlier Snatch, back in 1977, who went like this.’)
(1:00 news)
(JP: ‘Just had a phone call from BBC2 Television, from the continuity announcer there, getting ready close down and wanting to know what I’d got in the rest of the programme. So I told him, and I’m now looking forward to hearing what he’s got to say’.)
(John plays the TV on the radio)
(JP: ‘Incidentally Lynn Parsons came in just a second ago to tell me that she’s majoring on Cher in tonight’s programme but has promised a Des O'Connor track during the programme at some stage. So looks like another night without sleep for me.’)
(JP: ‘...7” EP yet again. Vinyl of course is finished, they keep telling you. There’s only been two CDs in this programme so far. We fight the good fight.)
(JP: ‘And the last record in tonight’s programme and we’re going to have time to play – well most of it.’)
