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: 'Good evening my beauties, a wonderful night in the company of the Ruts, more about that later on in the programme. We got two sessions, a repeat of that from PragVEC and currently lashing about the land with Magazine and also a session from Fingerprintz and we start the programme with the Sex Pistols')
(JP: 'Something Else from the LP, The Great Rock 'N' Roll Swindle and of course the number 7 single in the country in The BBC Festive Forty, whatever they call it. That's Sid Vicious and there is a tribute to Sid called Pistol Boy by Militant Barry about to be issued. I haven't got a copy of it, so I can't tell you what it's like, but if it's any good, I'll play it to you. The new single from Sparks, it's called The Number One Song In Heaven')
