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.

Comments
  • Files a-e are incomplete. Around two hours 15 minutes of a two and a half hour show are available between those files. Recording begins with the end of the preceding show by Andy Kershaw. Playlist Archive.
  • About 40 minutes into part 1 JP says that one of his remaining ambitions is to get all of The Fall sessions out as a box set. This did not happen during his lifetime, although it has done since.
  • According to the announcement by Peel, the line-up for Ultramarine's second session included the legendary Jimmy Hastings guesting on sax and flute, who had appeared on many Canterbury scene bands' albums. (He was the brother of Caravan's Pye Hastings.)
  • The lyric line "I don't want to be a rusty suit of armour" appears in a track by Ultimate Spinach, one of the Boston bands promoted (unsuccessfully) by US record companies in 1968 as rivals to the San Francisco groups of the time. Lead singer Ian Bruce-Douglas is probably the only artist played by Peel who served time (in his later career) as a mercenary[1].
  • Two other oddities: "Santa Claus Goes Modern", and the second track Peel plays from Harvey Sid Fisher's "Astrology Songs" LP
  • JP complains about Ken Garner’s ‘wretched’ book and people using it to catch him out. He had claimed (incorrectly) the previous week that Uzeda would be the first Italian band to record a session for the programme and a number of people had written in to correct him. (Isector)
