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
  • Show presented by Peel and Pete Drummond.
  • There is no known recording of the complete show, but many of the session tracks are available on official releases or as lo-fi off-air recordings of the original medium wave broadcast.
  • One DJ link was found on this show and was previously thought to come from 29 October 1967, but from the PasB at the BBC Written Archives Centre of the 29 October 1967 show, there was no evidence of Clear Light being played on that programme. As Pete Drummond and Peel were both presenters on 29 October 1967 and 05 November 1967, it's confirmed that the Clear Light track was played on the latter date.
  • The Tyrannosaurus Rex session with links is available, and highlights John's over-use of the word "Nice", a trait he was trying to rid himself of by the time the session was repeated on 04 February 1968
