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
  • Plays the Wah Heat and Teardrop Explodes singles in the wake of the closure of Eric's club in Liverpool.
  • Nostalgia for fans of the psychedelic era. Peel follows two tracks from the Psychedelic Furs debut LP with three from the sixties (two featuring guitarists Peel rates the best of the period). Claims he is only doing this now the threat of a psychedelic revival has receded. Notes he would probably now look even worse in the clothes. Recalls first listening to the Donovan LP with Marc Bolan. Describes the Country Joe & The Fish album as “the definitive flower power LP, if you must.”
  • Incomplete show on File 1, due to heavy use of the pause button, with several tracks edited out, including all of the Stiff Little Fingers session.
