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.

  • Full tracklisting from the PasB of the BBC Written Archives Centre. However, the CUD track listed by PasB was not played on the show, as Peel wanted to hear the full Four Brothers' Vimbayi session track without any interruptions.
  • Ken Garner's The Peel Sessions book has not listed the repeat session of the Four Brothers in this show.
  • Peel mentions the Flying Cream Shots at the start of the programme, as one of the artists he'll play on the show.
  • Peel plays a 1966 pro-Vietnam war song from Jan Berry, taken from a New Musical Express compilation album of songs inspired by the Vietnam war. In late 1965 Berry penned The Universal Coward, an angry response to Buffy Sainte-Marie's anti-war song Universal Soldier, a hit single for Donovan. Berry recorded and released it solo after his singing partner, Dean Torrence, refused to participate. The Universal Coward is a vitriolic attack on those who opposed the Vietnam War, describing them as “scroungers”, “twisted”, “fanatic” and “thick skulled”. It received little radio airplay and did not reach the charts.
  • Peel plays a track from Finnish band Radiopuhelimet, which in Finnish translates as Radio Phones. Their song and album titles translate as South of Vetelät and Rock Explosion respectively.
  • Peel plays traditional Serbian music from southern Hungary by Vujicsics.
  • Peel plays the original Child Of The Moon by the Rolling Stones, followed by Band Of Susans' session version of the same track.
