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.

  • Gladys Knight and the Pips are this week's soul artists in session. They were on a short visit to Britain with fellow Motown artist Chris Clark, who also recorded a Top Gear session, broadcast on the 17 December 1967 show.
  • Fairport do a session version of a Bob Dylan song previously recorded by the Byrds. Gun cover Paul Simon's song "A Most Peculiar Man".
  • JP plays a track by the Siegel-Schwall Band, one of the American white blues bands of the era, whom he otherwise didn't seem to pay much attention to - a version of "Bring It With You When You Come", a jug band favourite first recorded in 1931 by Cannon's Jug Stompers.
  • Cream do a version of "Outside Woman Blues", a song orginally recorded in 1930 by the little-known Blind Joe Reynolds and featured on their LP Disraeli Gears. As the Wikipedia article on Reynolds points out, Eric Clapton discovered the song on a compilation album issued by Origin Jazz Library in 1965. It later featured on a Yazoo Records compilation of country blues originals from the 1920s and '30s made famous in later versions, Roots Of Rock  Unfortunately, Reynolds died in March 1968, too soon to benefit from royalty payments on Cream's recording of his song..
  • It is thought that the outro is by Tommy Vance, which would date this fragment to the repeat Cream broadcast
  • Gun assumed to be the repeat as it was shared at the same time as the Cream track
