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: "It's a most curious thing, dear reader, but I haven't been playing this LP very much in Britain at all. In fact, I haven't played a track from it whatsoever yet, and the main reason for this is because somehow it just doesn't seem terribly important any more.")
(JP: 'If you'll forgive me a kind of cosmic name-dropping, there was a time when I used to go drinking with Rod Stewart, amongst others, before he became enormously famous. He was a bloke who would never buy a drink, I mean, absolutely never. You could sit there all night looking at him accusingly, never buy a drink and every time you got up eventually out of despair and said, "Another drink, Rod?", he'd say, "Yes, please, and a Scotch egg", or something like that, "while you're at it." Amazing. That's perhaps why he's a multi-millionaire now. That and the records of course.')
