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.

  • Full tracklisting from the PasB of the BBC Written Archives Centre.
  • This is an all record show, where Peel did not have any sessions on his programmes between 23rd and 25th of January.
  • Peel plays a track from the Stop The Violence Movement, who were formed to make a single encouraging the hip hop community to end violence being committed among themselves.
  • Peel plays six bands in a row, who are from the Seattle alternative rock scene. The bands are Nirvana, Coffin Break, Blood Circus, Mudhoney, Skin Yard and Soundgarden. The Mudhoney track is a cover of the Dicks' Hate The Police.
  • Peel plays a track from Roy Orbison covering Elvis Costello's The Comedians.
  • Peel plays an unusual record from George Coleman, not the saxophonist who played in Miles Davis's band in the 1960s[1], but a street musician and oil drum player, known as Bongo Joe[2]. The LP was released in 1969 on Arhoolie Records, one of the specialist blues record labels Peel followed, but, despite a good review in Rolling Stone magazine, artist and album remained obscure.
