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.

  • With some bemusement, Peel reads out extracts from 'The shy girl's guide to bedroom bliss' that had been published in the Sun newspaper the previous day.
  • Peel cites the Sounds singles reviews several times. The latest issue had just come out that day (a Thursday).
  • Art Objects were fronted by Gerard Langley, later to form The Blue Aeroplanes.
  • The show was repeated on BBC Radio 6 Music in 2014 as part of a tribute to coincide with the tenth anniversary of Peel's death.

Other
  • 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.
  • File 2 seems to be a larger file, 165Mb v 110Mb  and 192kbps v 128kbps but starts at the exact same time as file 1, and seems to have more ringing distortion.
  • Many thanks to Julian, Kev and "bbrbr57"!
  • 3) Recorded by Mike Dick who gave a copy to the BBC archive.
  • 4) Many thanks to patestapes.
  • Please address re-up requests to Peel Newsgroup.
