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
  • New Farm single, 'All Together Now', played for second time. John is also so impressed with the Main Source 12 inch that he plays both sides of it (although he appears to dislike the fact that they add a message to their friends at the end).
  • Peel mentioned that he was going to play Cliff Richard's My Feet Hit The Ground after Sludgeworth's Two Feet On The Ground, but didn't have a copy of the record.
  • Peel says he'll play a track from the Wild Swans on tomorrow night's programme. The track coming from 'The Zoo' Uncaged 1978-1982 compilation album.
  • Peel reads a letter from someone who suggests that an engineer plays records for him. He then illustrates by playing and stopping the Sandmen record a few times to illustrate this, before playing the full track from them.
  • JP is rather sarcastic about CDs when he receives one that doesn't play properly.

Sessions[]

  • Mighty Force, one and only session. Recorded 1990-11-06. No known commercial release.
  • Swervedriver, one and only session (repeat). Recorded 1990-07-31. No known commercial release.

Tracklisting[]

(JP: 'Somebody was telling me that a member of the Butthole Surfers is in town and invited me to get in touch with him, and so on, and discuss record label and forthcoming LP, and whatever else I wanted to discuss. Of course, I'm tempted to do that, but you can't help but thinking at the same time, you know, that they're going to introduce foreign bodies into your gruel. Makes me rather apprehensive about the whole process.')
(JP: 'The next person who phones me up on the fluff line to tell me the thing that starts off the Farm track is Pachelbel's Canon loses a limb.')
(JP: 'I must go and worship at their feet when they come over here.')
