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[]

JP: "This is another one of the records I found whilst searching for the missing Little Richard cover."
  • Eddie "Buster" Forehand: Young Boy Blues (7") Josie JOZ 618
(JP: 'Are there loads of records by Eddy 'Buster' Forehand? And if there are, how come I've never heard any of them?')
(JP: 'You may have read somewhere that at their Albert Hall do, was it last night, they gave away copies of a free 10” single that included a recording of Into the Tunnel taken from the session prior to this one produced and engineered by Mike Robinson, date of first broadcast 15th December 1991, and apparently we have 10 copies of this to give away in a thrilling competition, and it's been a while since we had a thrilling competition and as soon as I think of a suitable question, a thrilling competition we will most assuredly have.')
(“This is a record, one of my favourites, and every once and a while I think it’s time I played that one again and because the name of the artist begins with an F it occurred to me again this week. My own copy of this record is slightly damaged actually so I had to get it out of the BBC Record Library and theirs is slightly damaged as well, but probably not as damaged as mine. This is Don French and Lonely Saturday Night.')
  • Don French: 'Lonely Saturday Night (7")' (London) §
  • File 1 ends
(JP: 'Well actually on reflection I think the BBC Record Library copy is in worse nick than mine. I’d like a good copy if anyone’s got one to spare to buy. On London Records but first came out on Quality records in Canada.') [1]
(JP: 'A spunky bunch, I'm sure you'll agree.')
(JP: 'This is Buzz Hungry. Now Johnnie Walker has started to take an occasional record off me to play in his radio programmes on Saturday afternoons on 1 FM, and I gave him a handful of things from which he could choose and he said that the Buzz Hungry record was the one he liked best of those – I’m not sure if he played it, but if he did I’m jolly glad that he did.')

Footnotes
  1. Since two copies were found in John Peel's Record Box, maybe they did. Further details here.
  2. David Bowie cover. Peel says it is "the last from them tonight", so this may well come from much later in the show.
