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.

  • Incomplete show available, comprising 45 minutes of a two hour programme. It's not clear where in the two hours these 45 minutes of show fell. Also some tracks from several mixtapes, not all necessarily recorded in chronological order.
  • Only one of the Frankie Goes To Hollywood sessions is available. It is played in one continuous segment.
  • Peel starts the Government Issue track at the wrong speed. "They're a fast bunch but not as fast as that I fear", he quips.
