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
  • Peel has something to confess early on. "I have to tell you that I've lost my glasses and I can't actually see my running order, so there'll be amusing mistakes throughout the entire programme, I suggest... I left them in the Manchester to London train on Thursday afternoon... If you see them, you'll recognise them because the left hand ear piece is held on with a paper clip."
  • "I find myself these days increasingly having to phone up record companies and say to them, somewhat shamefacedly, "Can you tell me what speed the record you sent to me the other day is supposed to be played at" and, er, this very day I phoned someone up to ask them this and, er, they didn't know themselves .... no names, no pack-drill, but there should be one or two lunches in it for me."
  • The news leads with the car bomb attack on the World Trade Centre in New York.

  • Fall: 'Kimble' (Single) Strange Fruit
  • Noel Ellis: 'Don't You Know (version)' (Single) Powerhouse
  • Codeine: 'Jr' (Peel Session)
(JP: 'The search for that missing Little Richard cover version continues, and I'm getting towards the end of the aitches. This is one of the records that I came up with this week, and a gem it is too. It was a number one record in Dallas when I lived there. Ah! Brings back wonderful memories.')
(JP: 'I was listening to hot new records this morning as I was putting this programme together, and this one produced a bead of sweat on my upper lip and the Pig said that she liked it as well.')

File a ends File b begins

(JP: 'And because I know that they're now back in Prague and can't hear this programme, I'll have a stab at the lineup of the band... in case anybody sends them a tape of this, I apologise for getting your names wrong. It's pretty much a tradition of the programme, I have to say that.')
  • Eggs: 'The Government Administrator' (7" Single) Hemiola
(JP: 'This "Veteran DJ In No Glasses Horror" business is really getting me down. If I sit bolt upright in an unnaturally erect position I can just get far enough away from the page to read that it says the Eggs on Hemiola Records.')
  • Solid State: 'Quark' (12" EP) Peacefrog
  • Codeine: 'Tom' (Peel Session)

1991 Festive Fifty: Number 36[]

File 3 cuts out

Flip File 1

  • Tar: 'Dean Martin' (LP 'Clincher') Touch & Go
  • Dean Martin: 'That's Amore' (?)
(JP: 'I have to admit actually this is a record that I bought as a kid. I keep meaning to introduce a feature into these programmes - I keep forgetting to do it as well, which is probably just as well - which is one of those kinds of "records I bought when I was about that high". Even when I was very, very young when this record came out, I knew enough to know that "when the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie" was a fairly crap line.')
  • O Shines: Same Old Love (Version) (7") Sinbad Production SIN 679118
  • Artery: 'The Death Of Peter X (12"-The Alabama Song)' (Red Flame)

File b ends & File 4 ends in the track above
File c begins

(JP: 'I've got something like 15 seconds long during which I have to cue up the next record, so this is going to be quite exciting stuff.')
(JP: 'Did it with about 5 seconds to spare, too! ... now the only thing is that I may have cued this up at the wrong speed, but we'll find out together shall we?')
(JP: 'Well as you know dearly beloved, pride goes before a fall. I got the record on and got it on at the right speed but unfortunately it was the wrong track...')
(JP: 'Tonight's musical odyssey takes us from Prague to Guinea. That's the kind of thing they say at the start of "Pick Of The Week", I just thought I'd drop that in in case you never listen to Radio 4.')

File c ends
File d begins

  • Anthony Malvo: If I Ever Fall (7") Jahmento MSC 325550
  • Marden Hill: Come On (12") Mo Wax MW 004
(JP: 'I almost had for you tonight - I thought I had for you - the new New Order record, because I was down in Broadcasting House reception and I saw an envelope behind the desk which said, "acetates of new New Order record". So I went over and had a closer look and they were addressed to Pete Tong. And he didn't even play them to you! But there you are, old loyalties you know, they count for nothing really do they in these competitive times?')
  • Sidi Bou Said: 'Twilight Eyes' (Single) Ultimate
  • Kreviss: 'You Think (7")' (Scratch)
(JP: 'This is another record that I came across whilst searching for that Little Richard cover version. It's on Marmaduke records and their corporate logo is "Turn me on" - Hmmm!')
(JP: 'And we've got this far without my saying "Slowcore" once.')
