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.

Station
  • BBC Radio One
YYYY-MM-DD
  • 1992-04-11
Comments
  • ‘A raging start to what I hope is going to be a most uplifting programme.’
  • John suggests he would help revive Punch if he was a millionaire.
  • The L tapes may well complete the show - they add up around 5 minutes short but that could well be due to tape flips, and the editing out of trailers and news. John's sign-off is missing though at the end.

Sessions[]

Tracklisting[]

  • Start of show on both files a and b. John mistakenly anounces Terminal Cheesecake as one of the session guests. (File b is the only file to catch this)
JP: "To start, slap those skins, mr drummer man!"
(11:30 news)
(JP: ‘Am I the only person in Europe who wouldn’t go to Euro Disney for a bet?’)
JP: "In just a moment, a tune from the Fall. Now there's a bit of a surprise!"
  • (tape flip on file a - several tracks are omitted here)
  • Fall: Birmingham School Of Business School (album - Code: Selfish) Fontana 512 162-1
  • File c ends and File d starts here
  • Jacob's Mouse: Fridge (session) (not on file a) %
JP: "The new Nirvana? I think in a rather special way we're all the new Nirvana, don't you?"
(House Of Love are playing a gig in Portsmouth with "current press faves" Suede. JP: "The less said about Portsmouth at the moment, the better, I think." Liverpool had drawn 1-1 after a late equalizer against the Second Division side in the semi-final of the 1992 FA Cup on April 5, although JP's team would go though to the final following a penalty shootout when the replay on April 13 finished 0-0.)
JP: "Absolutely wizard as I'm told you youngsters say."
JP: "That's another one I came across during my search for that missing Little Richard cover."
JP: "I have an uncomfortable feeling that that was at the wrong speed, but it sounded pretty good once it got going."
