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.

  • A Valentines Day special live from Peel Acres.
  • John Peel: "Before the programme started I was playing George and Andy our engineers and also family friends of course, one or two records that they'd not heard before - Deep Soul records, including stuff by Eddie & Ernie and also I mentioned that Eddie and Ernie I think made like a handful of singles, and I also played them something by Geater Davis, and he only made a couple of singles, played them Stanley Winston's 'No More Ghettos in America', which will be familiar to regular listeners to this programme. As far as I know the only record he made, an untraceable man. Then I pointed out that somebody like Mick Hucknall had probably made something like 15 or 20 LPs. I thought that was an interesting kind of contrast. But then I said in his defence he did once make a good record and there were whistles of disbelief but I went across to the shed in the field and I've got it and I may play it before the end of the programme."
  • The Eddie & Ernie and Geater Davis singles played on the show later turned up in John Peel's Record Box.
  • In the last half hour of the show, Peel belatedly announces that there is a competition running on the John Peel page of the Radio One website to win copies of the singles compilation CD issued by Boobytrap Records.

Tracklisting[]

(JP: 'Well hello and welcome to Stowmarket and Peel Acres for our Valentines Day hootenanny with, inevitably, the Loves. And in the next two hours we're going to make progress.')
  • Alex Kowalski: Progress (12") Kanzleramt
(JP: 'The track's called progress, you see, hence my intro to it. Pretty clever stuff...')
(JP: 'Obviously there's a kind of love theme running through tonight's programme, inescapably, but hopefully we're not going to overdo it.')
  • Gaby And Wilton: Only Love (7") Camel
  • Loves: The Sound We Make Is Love (Live At Peel Acres)
  • Eddie & Ernie: I Believe She Will (7") Chess Records
(JP: 'And that's for our friend Mick up in Windham in Norfolk and he was the man who introduced me to Eddie and Ernie actually, for which I've always been extremely grateful. He's a great record collector himself, Mick, and I found Eddie and Ernie's rarest record, and I can't remember what it was called, and I gave it to him, which is one of the very few unselfish things I've ever done in all of my life.')
(JP: 'Well I'll tell you what, it's party time here at Peel Acres - for everyone except me of course, I'm working.')
  • Loves: Boom-A-Bang-Bang-Bang (Live At Peel Acres)
  • Decal: Carpenter (LP - 404 Not Found) Planet Mu
Starts playing Decal again (Wrong Track Moment).
(JP: 'I was hoping that as I played it, Sheila would be listening to the lyrics and have her arm around my shoulder and a tear in her eye, instead of which she just carried on shouting and drinking and talking and didn't listen to a moment of it.')
(JP: 'I forget what the sessions are next week, er, Flaming Stars on Tuesday, nothing on Wednesday because it's the Brit Awards and I know there's not a single listener to this programme who won't be utterly fascinated by the Brit Awards.')
Starts playing Nina Nastasia again instead of HMHB (Wrong Track Moment).
(JP: 'Well how splendid would it be to have them play here at Peel Acres one of these nights, but I don't think it's actually possible.')
(JP: 'Time now for a mildly embarrassing selection from the Perfumed Garden:')
(JP: 'I feel confident that's going to replace the original in the collective consciousness so thank you very much for that.')
(JP: 'There's only one record really with which I could I end tonight's programme and... no sentimental dedications because I shall start weeping. This inevitably is FSK.')
