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.

  • Start of show: "Well, let's start the programme tonight with what could easily be, well it's a track from what could easily turn out to be the LP of the year. We've got a session from Elastica, and the Peelenium reaches something like 1969. In fact, it is 1969. But you're gonna love this."
  • A long-time listener asserts that the only time he turned Peel's show off was when he played all four sides of a Yes LP, which JP vigorously denies: "The more pompous they became, the more I disliked them." (This might be a confusion on the listener's part between Peel and the other 'Sounds of the Seventies' programmes - 'Tales from Topographic Oceans' was premiered in full on one of these shows, but probably not one of those presented by Peel.)

Footnotes
  1. ↑ John is referring to The Millenium Prayer, which EMI, Richard's record company, refused to release (for reasons which will become apparent after a single listen). Richard released it independently, and it was narrowly beaten to the Christmas number 1 spot by Westlife's 'I Have A Dream.' Despite the fact that it had already been number 1 for two weeks and was the third highest selling single of his career, it was voted worst number 1 of all time by VH1 in 2004.
  2. ↑ John claims he and the Pig produced this.
  3. ↑ Cover of a song by Trio: "the original I hated, but that one I like."
