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.

  • Peel plays two records at the wrong speed in one show.
  • In a World Cup qualifier, Wales had been beaten 3-0 by the USSR that day. The defeat meant that Wales failed to reach the 1982 World Cup finals on goal difference. JP - "I felt very sorry for the Welsh after the defeat in Russia, and particularly for Ian Rush. And if any of you live long enough to actually have grand children and you go regularly to football matches, one of these days you're going to be very pleased to be able to tell your grand children that you saw Ian Rush play, because he's a great footballer."
  • The singer of Rip Rig And Panic was Neneh Cherry, who later had a successful solo music career in the late 80's and early 90's.
  • Sound does muffle considerably after the New Order songs, but is listenable if the volume is at maximum.
  • File 2 contains edited linkless tracks from Karl's Tape November 1981.

(JP: I give you the lineup of the band now actually. There is Jarvis Cocker, wonder if he's related to Joe. Generally don't know, suppose it could be, they come from the same town, Sheffield.)
