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.

  • (Alan, message to Peel Mailing List: Here are two shows (this one and 07 March 2001) where John played Captain Beefheart sessions from 1968 which had apparently been lost/erased by the BBC and subsequently rescued from a listener recording. There's a couple of mentions of Ken Garner's first book, and an expressed desire that he gets on and updates it.
  • Beefheart session from 4/2/68.
  • Files a,b contain the last 80 mins of 2-hour show, from 10:40 - midnight, then some Mary Anne Hobbs. File d contains the first 93 minutes from 10:00-11:33 so completes the show.

Tracklisting[]

  • File a starts at start of first track
(JP: 'Thanks to the unknown benefactor who recorded that from the radio on the 4th February 1969... in case there were any sharp edits in that, it was to remove my whining 1968 voice from the music. So in case anybody illegally recorded that, they'd be able to enjoy it to the full.')

  • I Am Kloot: To You (b-side 'Dark Star' single) We Love You Records
(JP: 'Typically of course, I've played you the wrong side of the record I think. (laughs) I'm now in a real quandry. That is 'To You' by I Am Kloot, the b-side of 'Dark Star' and I was going to follow that you see, by playing the Grateful Dead's 'Dark Star' which, when they played live, would sometimes go on for hours, even days. But there is a single version of it and somehow I'm going to have to play you that now really, because although it doesn't make a great deal of sense, I've got no other record ready to play you. So...')
