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
  • JP in a gloriously irreverent mood. Start of show: 'This is John Peel once again, exclusively for the Virgin stores, starting with a wildly over the top record from Hong Kong.'
  • After playing Every Day by The Selecter "These days all of the critics the so-called pop pundits as they used to be called back in the 60's are slagging off the Two Tone bands like The Specials and The Selecter. I think they're wrong, bollocks to the lot of them say I for one."
  • After hearing that people in Coventry were listening to this tape and not buying anything, Peel comes out with the true message: 'Consume, consume, buy, buy, buy, then fuck off out of the shop.'

Tracklisting[]

Side 1

(JP: 'Well, if you don't like that, you're a fool. One of the most wonderfully over the top records I've ever heard.')
(JP: 'Here's your chance to jump about on top of one or two people.')
(JP: 'Lots of blood in the shop after that, I hope.')
(JP: 'New single from Bodies arrived in my hands only seconds before I came into this disgusting little studio to record these tapes.')
(JP: 'Bet they haven't got that in the shop.')
  • Any Trouble: Yesterday's Love (Single) Pennine
  • Stunt Kites: Beautiful People (Compilation EP-1980 The First 15 Minutes) Neutron
  • (The record sticks (causing John to later opine that his engineer has 'his balls in his brains'), and John 'apologises' for using the word 'fuck'.)
  • Burning Spear: Bad To Worst (Single) Burning Spear

Side 2

(JP: 'May I say, and I mean this from the bottom of my heart, how happy Ron, Trevor and I are that you've decided to spend your time and money here with us in the Virgin store. We all think, and we hope you'll agree with us, that Virgin is a fun place to be, and that we're fun people, and that you're a fun person. Everybody and everything....oh god, I'm going to be sick.')
