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
  • (Introduction to show, mood of Peel, interesting comments, etc. If possible, please add mentions of gigs attended, football matches, TV appearances, stories of past/current activities, etc, for use elsewhere on John Peel Wiki.)
  • Off-air recording, presumed to be from the initial play but possible it came from the repeat on 18 February 1968. Note - though Tommy Vance stopped co-hosting after the January shows so at least the one with his outro is from this show
  • A mix of session artists typical of the early, three-hour Top Gears. Once Peel became sole presenter of the show (he co-presented the January 1968 TGs with Tommy Vance), there were very few sessions from chart-oriented acts like the Foundations and Plastic Penny whereas the likes of Cream, TYA and the Bonzos became playlist regulars..
