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.

Tracklisting[]

(JP: 'And time now, I think, for your monthly dose of the guitar playing of Diblo Dibala.')
(JP: 'I don't know whether I've mentioned this to you before, but I haven't exactly become fixated, but I know that somewhere in my collection of seven inch singles, there's a really good cover version of a Little Richard song, except that I can't remember which Little Richard song it is, nor can I remember who it is who's recorded it. So, out of sheer desperation, I'm having to make my way through my entire collection of seven inch singles until I find it, and of course, in the course of doing this, I come up with one or two interesting records that I forget I've ever owned, and if you'd asked me a week ago, "Do you have a record by somebody called Eddie Buster Forehand?", I'd have said, "No, I don't think I do, as a matter of fact", but I do, and it's a stormer as well!')
  • Eddie Buster Forehand: 'Young Boy Blues (7")' (Josie)
  • CJ Bolland: (2x12") - details unknown even to Peel
  • Gibson Brothers: 'Girl Can't Help It (7"-Mean Mistreater)' (Homestead) (JP: 'What must be the most politically incorrect sleeve of 1992.')
(JP: 'Also a couple of weeks ago, well about four or five weeks ago, whenever it was, just after I'd crossed the Austro-Hungarian border, I heard somebody on a radio station, an English language radio station, asking somebody in all seriousness, "And do you rock'n'roll yourself?", they asked, and that was for that person, whose name, alas, I don't know.')
