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.

Tracklisting[]

(JP: 'I'm going to destroy this studio if I keep on playing this stuff..Well worth tracking down quite clearly if only to annoy people that live close to you. No, I don't mean that, you shouldn't do that, that's highly irresponsible, but to annoy your flatmates, if you've got flatmates, or your brothers or sisters...')

Peelenium 1972[]

  1. Captain Beefheart And The Magic Band: 'Big Eyed Beans From Venus (LP-Clear Spot)' (Reprise)
  2. Family: 'My Friend The Sun (LP-Bandstand)' (Reprise)
  3. Matching Mole: 'O Caroline (LP-Matching Mole' (CBS)
  4. Mel & Tim: 'Starting All Over Again (LP-Starting All Over Again)' (Stax)
(JP: 'In case I sound slightly hysterical tonight, it's because I've been up since about 5 o'clock this morning cos I had to do some stuff for the Today programme on Radio 4, talking about, it's yet another thing about Millenium records...somebody had put forward a list of tunes that ought to be played inside the Millenium dome in the minutes leading up to midnight on New Year's Eve. It was all the usual stuff: 'Imagine,' 'We Are The Champions' and things, and I had to come up with something else, and I thought, something kind of instrumental really, something heroic and intergalactic, and I said Pink Floyd's 'Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun': although it's an old tune, it might not be inappropriate, or indeed their 'Interstellar Overdrive.' My third suggestion was this.')
