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[]

File 4 cuts in below on the 1st track of the show

  • MDMA: E-Shopping (12") Degenerate DR 1209 3

File b ends and File c starts here

  • Pond: 'Spots' (Peel Session) 5
(JP: 'This is another one of those records that I discovered as I was making my way through the pile of singles by artists whose names begin with F. From Fort Worth, Texas, the Firemen.')

Files 1 & c end and File 2 starts here. File d also starts here.

(JP: 'Believe me, the original (by Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich-SIG) didn't come within a thousand miles of the wonderfulness of that.')
  • Johnny R: 'The Preacher (12")'
  • Prophecy Of Doom: 'Vortex Dreamer (LP-Matrix)' (Metalcore)
  • (1 a.m. news: this puts the start of file 1 as 11:43PM. This means that around 6 minutes are missing at the start of the show on File b, either before the first listed track (the Fall) or at the audible tape edit.)(The edit comes for the 11:30 news but comes at 26.5 mins into the file. Therefore there must be around 3.5 minutes missing at the start of the file and perhaps 2 mins for the news.) (NB 3.5 minutes at start are probably the first track on File 3)

File 2 ends during this track, File d ends during JP outro
File e begins

(JP: 'Lynn Parsons passed this way a few moments ago, looking absolutely astonishing, I mean good astonishing. I'm not quite sure what she's been up to: the story she told me wasn't entirely convincing.')

File 4 ends

  • (2 a.m. news)
  • Tracks marked 3 available on File 3 etc

Footnotes
  1. JP likes the first half minute of this song so much he immediately plays it again. The single was later found in John Peel's Record Box.
  2. JP notes that the title is open to dispute, and could be 'She's Asleep' or 'It's Snowing'. The Peel Sessions (p. 320) lists it as merely 'Snowing'.
