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
  • File 1 has only start of the show.
  • File 2 is more likely to be from this show, as Peel plays four tracks from bands (Ultravox, Graham Parker And The Rumour, Thin Lizzy & Aerosmith) who are going to appear at the Reading Festival in a few days time. The Reading Festival took place in 1977 between 26-28 August. Also he plays a session track from the Jam, which is on this file.

Tracklisting[]

  • File 1 begins
(JP: "On this rate, they had to make the Gillette Cup final a double header with the cup final I think. Number 18 in the charts at the moment the BBC Charts is The Jam. We got a session from them. We also got a session from Lone Star and among the records, we do some Lurkin, a bit of Motoring. We're going to hear 3 from Magma. We're going to hear the Who, a hint of Elmore James, Ry Cooder, Racing Stars[1], whole bunch of good folk really")
(JP: 'Now back to reality and 1977')
