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
  • Peel thinks Meat Beat Manifesto is not a great name.
  • Peel congratulates Tranmere Rovers in their promotion and dedicates a record to them by playing a Half Man Half Biscuit track, who are supporters of the football club.
  • Peel mentions that he leaves Peel Acres at 5pm to get to the BBC Studios at 7pm, a 2 hour journey. After people advised him to leave early, Peel left at 2.30, but arrived at 4.30pm and was not a happy man.
  • Peel complains that Gary Davies turns up all the heating in the studio.

Tracklisting[]

(JP: 'Just about the best record ever made about football hooligans.')
(JP: 'I always liked the Kinks back in the very early days when they were sort of an R&B band and this was my favourite number by the Kinks. You could tell it was my favourite number because it's been played a great many of times and sounds very scratchy indeed on the LP, but it has a spiritual quality I think which you cannot deny.')
(JP: 'That would have gone down extremely well with my brother in law Paul, a great admirer of the Kinks, although subsequently moved onto the Smiths it must be said, So Mystifying, one of their early works and one of their very best I think too.')
(JP: 'Coming up it's the news followed by Nicky Campbell, I bet his studio is really cool, not like this one at all. Thanks very much for listening, goodnight.')
