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.

  • Peel explains that he is a day late in returning to the Radio London ship from shore leave because he overslept, "after a night of revelry at festive Peel Acres". He is happy to be back ("I feel as though I was back home again...") and sounds pleased by the enthusiastic listener response to the Perfumed Garden.
  • Lead singer on the Jeff Beck track is Rod Stewart - his first known appearance in a Peel playlist.
  • Peel reads out the names of listeners who sent in entries to his Zodiac: Cosmic Sounds competition - among them Geoffrey Prowse and Roy Carr, Carr was then (as JP mentions) a member of little-known group The Executives, but later became a renowned author and music journalist who edited NME, Melody Maker[1]. and Vox. During his career he also helped put together many of the compilations Peel featured on his shows from the 1980s onwards. including some drawn from Peel sessions[2].
