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 from the Bad Boy Orchestra. I wish I could remember the bloke who given me this if I ever indeed knew it, cause I should like to find out where he got it from. I think he told me he brought it back from New York. Well I'm not even quite sure about that. More importantly I should like to know where to get more, well not the same exactly, but similar, Bad Boy Orchestra, Do You Wanna Dance')
(JP: 'And the other day somebody brought a round a whole bunch of 12 inches from Factory records, varying degrees of quality of course almost inevitably, could hardly expected to be all exactly the same. The one I enjoyed the most though, comes from France I believe, from Fadela and it's called N'Sel Fik')
(JP: 'Where are we now? I completely lost my place, I was hoping to tell you what was on the Friday Rock Show this week, but I can't find any information about it, but doubtless Tommy would approve of this I think')
(JP: 'Not what you call an easy listening I suppose, that's the Dustdevils and that comes from The Dropping Well EP on Rouska records and that was Mother Shipton and what was I going to say to you, something quite riveting at this point, oh yes my thanks to a Billy Mackenzie from Port Glasgow, for sending me birthday wishes for the Pig, whose birthday is next Tuesday. She's the one who ought to be actually on Jonathan Ross' programme and Wogan and so on.')
