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.

  • The fourth part of the 1989 Festive Fifty, plus session repeats.
  • The number 16 entry is said by Peel to be 'Tony's last-minute edit mix, exclusive to this programme', but this appears to be a joke, since no trace can be found of this version.
  • The number 14 track is the LP version of the session track 'Take Me I'm Yours', which had made the previous year's chart at number 4.

1989 Festive Fifty: Numbers 20-11[]

(JP: '(At number 20), a record which I thought was a really good record, but it's been by and large assumed that it wasn't a good record at all.')
(JP: 'I should be very unhappy if he unbent enough to do a session for us in 1990. I think it's time he rejoined the human race, really.')
(JP: 'I see that one has agreeable singalong potential, anyway.')
