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
  • Start of show: "Well, hello there. Tonight from Peel Acres, the White Stripes, cheap champagne and cake."
  • The last programme of Anita the producer – “so tears will be spilled, and champagne will be spilled as well almost certainly before the night is over.”
  • Peel promises to include some of his favorite records. Several later turned up in John Peel's Record Box.
  • After the White Stripes first few songs, Peels asks if the band want to take a break or carry on. Jack White: "We can stop for now, Mr Peel." JP: "Dr Peel, if you don’t mind."
  • The band are going to be playing Liverpool for the first time. JP: "Finest place, of course. I say that as a man that doesn’t live there, you know, so it’s easy for me to say that sort of thing. But there are an awful lot of people who love Liverpool who don’t live there, and I am but one of them."

Tracklisting[]

(JP: Oh I love that so much. That's from the Detroit Cobras on Sympathy For The Record Industry Records. The LP - Life Love And Leaving. Shout Bama Lama. An Otis Redding tune. And in addition to having the White Stripes here at Peel Acres and the cheap champagne and cake that I mentioned earlier on. It's also Anita the producer's last programme in charge. (cheers.) So tears will be spilled and champagne will be spilled as well, almost certainly before the night is over. And included in the programme. Some of my all time favourite records. Like this one from Yami Bolo.)
(JP: What a great record, from 1998, Yami Bolo and it’s called “Richer Than Cory,” although the original was Richard Cory, I think, and done by Them with Van Morrison. There may have been a version prior to that but if there was I knew nothing of it. And these are the Hives, one of three tracks on Sweet Nothing Records. And this one's called Howlin’ Pelle, if that's how he pronounces himself - Talks To The Kids.)
(JP: Well, I've become unexpectedly popular tonight. Let me tell you. Those are the Hives on Sweet Nothing Records and Howlin’ Pelle Talks To The Kids is the title of the track. And last time the White Stripes were on the programme I was discussing with them after the programme Stanley Winston’s “No More Ghettos In America,” which they had never heard. They have now, because I played it to them earlier on this evening, but here it is again. And amazing that this is the only record as far as I know that Stanley ever made – and nobody knows a thing about him.)
(JP: On Jewel Records from Shreveport, Louisiana. That's Stanley Winston - No More Ghettos In America today. He might still be alive, you know, Stanley. I mean, I am. And so the chances are he could be as well. And if anybody ever finds anything about him, I should be very pleased to hear about it because a man with a voice like that should not go unmarked, I suspect. Right, well, obviously the room is now full when I started the programme, completely empty. Here on me own. But now it's absolutely packed. Because we've got here at Peel Acres, the White Stripes.) (cheers and applause.)
  1. Lord Send Me An Angel (Blind Willie McTell cover)
  2. Dead Leaves And The Dirty Ground
  3. I Think I Smell A Rat
(JP: That’s from Jetstar Records of Dallas, Texas, another one from the 60s.)

  2. Little Room
  3. The Union Forever
  4. The Same Boy You've Always Known
  5. Look Me Over Closely (Marlene Deitrich cover)
(JP: This next a football song, because we have not had one in the course of the programme so far … And whenever the John Peel Roadshow goes out, about once every couple of years, this record is always included in its set.)
(JP: And there’s a bit of a presentation occurring here – no thought at all for the fact that I’m trying to do a radio programme here. A farewell to Anita the producer. Oh my lord! And an extravagant chocolate-covered cake, with a load of éclairs on and things, because Anita obviously rather keen on cake.)
  1. Looking At You (MC5 cover)
