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.

  • Another show where JP is slightly subdued
  • After playing the Girls At Our Best B Side "That is terrific you know, I'm very partial to that indeed" and "That's the sort of record everybody ought to be playing every hour on the hour I reckon. But on the other hand this is a world where half the Radio 1 typing pool was going barmy yesterday afternoon for an LP of TV theme tunes so I mean what can you do?"

  • 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"!
  • Please address re-up requests to Peel Newsgroup.
