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.

Name
  • 1) John Peel 1990-08-23.mp3
  • 2) John Peel 23 Aug 1990.mp3
Length
  • 1) 01:34:28
  • 2) 57:37 (to 54:56)
Other
  • 1) FM recording, slightly distorted sound. Tape tracking not the best, and sounds like the Dolby decoding is set at too high a level, muffling the sound at certain volumes.
  • 2) Many thanks to Tim, also slightly distorted sound, but none of the other afflictions
  • The following week, there was no show on Monday. On Tuesday 28 August 1990 the session was from 3 Mustaphas 3, on Wednesday 29 August 1990 from Shut Up And Dance, and on Thursday 30 August 1990 a repeat of the session by Cows
