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.

Comments
  • Start of show: "...Peelenium reaches 1975. So your host with the most, Doctor Doctor Peel." This last is a reference to the fact that at the weekend he had received an honorary doctorate from Sheffield Hallam University, having already been similarly honoured by Anglia Polytechnic University. It is probably also a sarcastic reference to the self-description of the commercial radio DJ Neil Fox.
  • Unusually for a Tuesday and "for no particular reason," the show comes from Peel Acres.
  • JP says that a session by Rootsman is being recorded for broadcast soon, but, as with other reggae artists, it seems this never happened.

  • Rootsman: 'Imitator (12"-Imitator EP)' (Third Eye Music)
(JP: 'With everybody going mad for the Cliff Richard Christmas record, one of the most execrable records I've ever heard in all of my life I think, time for a little quality.')
(JP: 'Unless I was hallucinating, I heard Mark And Lard this afternoon talking about the Low Christmas album. Unfortunately, they just talked about it and didn't play a track from it, so I will.')
(JP: 'This is a record which I should have played, really, I was trying to find it actually for 1974's Peelenium, but I couldn't find it, but I did find it over the weekend.')
