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[]

(Peel: "I think the number I was given to find out interesting info about The Frames probably was someones's idea of a practical joke because in line with the song La Chanson Ironique you heard earlier on when I phoned it up there were people talking in silly French accents at the other end, so I assumed I had been led up the garden path ... not for the first time")

Other
  • 1) Originally shared through assorted torrents/uploads, brought together on a now-defunct Julian Tapes (torrent) by "bbrbr57", also via Peel Newsgroup. Some of the original cassettes were running fast and the speed of the digital files may need adjustment. This is possible using Audacity and similar software.
  • Many thanks to Julian, Kev and "bbrbr57"!
  • 2) 3) Taken from T287 of the 400 Box, many thanks to Roger.
  • Please address re-up requests to Peel Newsgroup.
