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.

  • Playlist includes a French-language rock track by Linda Keel with an incorrect title (see below), chosen to follow Adam & The Ants' "Young Parisians".

Sessions[]

Tracklisting[]

(JP: “The first from Punishment Of Luxury.”)
(JP: “A marriage of Adam & The Ants and Decca Records seems a most peculiar thing, and here’s the first consequence of that marriage.”)
(JP: “Well, I rather care for that, I must confess.”)
(JP: “It sounds as if they borrowed our studio light for the session, as featured on television.”)
(JP: “And that a song chosen to coincide with tonight’s Omnibus, which I hope you watched. If you didn’t it won’t have relevance at all.”)
(JP: (“And producer John Walters is currently vacationing in the barbarous splendor of his mother’s house in the Isle Of Wight, but he would regard this as being a programming touch worthy of himself. We follow Night Time with White Night.”)
(JP: “I wonder why none of my colleagues made that their record of the week – Peter Powell or Kid Jensen or even Paul Burnett. Could have done, but they didn’t … This is the next from Punishment Of Luxury, and it’s called Babylon, and I’m afraid there are one or two rude words in the course of this, but they are in a kind of Biblical contexts, so you probably won’t find them too offensive.”)
(JP: "Well, there’s an LP that should be in every discerning home when it is released I think.”)
(JP: "Come on! Wake up, wake up!")
