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.

  • The first half of the three-hour show is available, with additional tracks and intros available from the Best Of Peel series. Many thanks to Lorcan's Tracklistings Archive for additional details to complete the full show tracklisting. [1]
  • The Paul Revere And The Raiders oldie is played ahead of a session version by Wedding Present the following day. The Revere single was later found among the favourites in John Peel's Record Box.
  • Session band Global Communication have just changed their name from Reload.
  • Peel is out in the corridor getting coffee when the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion (repeated) session track “Red” unexpectedly ends two minutes early.
  • Linking the four tracks from Sonic Youth to Mike Hart: Sonic Youth guitarist Thurston Moore played on the Backbeat soundtrack album, impersonating the Beatles in Hamburg, while the Roadrunners LP was recorded by a genuine Merseybeat combo at the German city’s Star Club, with band members including subsequent Dandelion solo artist Mike Hart.
  • Peel has also just run into Rick Saunders, who played guitar on the Hart LP, for the first time in 20 years in Calais.
  • Two tracks are played from the latest Fall EP and three (later in the show) from the 10" Pop Narcotic compilation "Why Do You Think They Call It Pop?".

(JP: "Mike Hart made an LP for Dandelion Records, which was the label I had at the end of the 1960s/beginning of the 1970s. Catastrophically unsuccessfully financially but artistically sound - not always I have to admit, but a lot of good stuff nonetheless, and few things better than this, which is a song called 'Artie's Wife'. Pay particular attention to the way he sings "She lives now in Belgium" and even more so "Reads a book on plastics". And I think "plastics" is delivered with more venom than any other single word in all of recorded popular music.")
