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[]

File a

(JP: 'When I was in the Army, obviously it's occurred to a lot of people who have witnessed this over the years, I don't doubt at all, but when I was on sort of doing fatigues or whatever they were called in the cookhouse, I once saw one of the cooks urinating into the soup, and my whole attitude to food was changed at that moment, and I've just eaten an egg mayonnaise sandwich, and I want you to know that required an act of faith of some substance, as a matter of fact.') §
(JP: 'The BFBS staff have said that if I live to be 100, they'll let me have a bucket of soup, and they've all promised to urinate in it.') §
(JP: 'I'm more fearful myself of a population of Nigel Kennedys: what a berk!...I got a letter from my pal Dirk to complain about the inclusion in these programmes of records by Tiger and Admiral Tibet, both of them superb artists in my view and quite clearly if Dirk continues to listen to these things he'll eventually come round to my way of thinking. He'd better.') John then starts to play the latter: the recording on Peel 150 is predictably curtailed. §
(JP: 'Top quality, Dirk: I don't know what you're whinging about.')

(JP: 'You can phone the glazier first thing in the morning...of course, they don't write stuff like that any more, or come to think of it, the likelihood is that they do, as a matter of fact. My source of yodelling records seems to have dried up, which is a great pity. It's nice to have one to play every once in a while.')
(JP: 'As a special treat, I'm gonna play you Hotel California. Bit of a pause for you all to go, "Wow! Far out!". Right, that's got that out of the way.') @
  • Jam On The Mutha: 'Hotel California (12")' (WAU! Mr. Modo Recordings) @
  • Rain: 'St. Martin's-In-The-Fields (LP-To The Citadel)' (Orangewood) @
  • My Jealous God: 'Everything About You (12")' (Rough Trade) @
