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.

Sessions[]

Tracklisting[]

File a starts

(JP: 'Thanks, Tommy (Vance). I went to the same session actually, but they didn't ask me to sing. I wonder where that leaves me. And, er, don't take the light bulb when you go, 'cos we need it.')
(JP: 'And the John Peel Roadshow, well me and three or four boxes of records, in fact, was out and about last night, went to Leicester to what used to be Leicester Polytechnic, and used to be a good time too, but is now Simon De Montfort University. But they didn’t like me that much I must admit well the handful of people who turned up – although the bands that played – Ugly Music Show, who regular listeners to this programme will have heard in session, That’s Irrelevant, Prolapse, Amphetamine Trash seemed to go down tolerably well.')
(JP: 'Do you know, I’d love a day in bed I really would – a couple of old Will Hay films on TV and an unlimited supply of toast.')
  • Marxman: 'Revolution Is Not A Revolution' (Peel Session)
  • Pond: 'Snowing' (Peel Session)

File b picks up the show at this point

  • (Tape cuts in as Peel is discussing having seen QPR v Liverpool on Monday 23 November. Liverpool won 1-0)
(JP: "Liverpool's defence was a crime against humanity and yet they still won 1-0.")
(JP: "This is one of the records I discovered while I was looking for that Little Richard cover version. I'm about halfway through the Gs now.")
  • Earl Gaines: Hymn Number 5 (7") Seventy Seven 77-131
(JP: "Tell me that that would be better on a CD and I'll bust your nose! That's got a spiritual quality that you'd never get on a CD.")

File 1 ends

(JP: "Well I believe in death but I don't believe that Eric Cantona has gone to Manchester United. That's somehow terribly disappointing. I'm not quite sure why I feel like that about it but I really do.")

(JP: 'And here is a postcard from Eamon Fitzmaurice who writes to me from Shipley in Yorkshire and says, "I have been listening to your show for many years now." I know you have, as I recognise your handwriting now. He says, "Every time I hear you say this is the first record I ever bought it’s a different record. How can this be?" Well it could be that I'm simple minded I suppose, or forgetful, or perhaps I’m just lying, but the first record I ever bought was 'Blue Tango' by Ray Martin and his Concert Orchestra. I thought I'd always said that - perhaps I ought to play it to you again because it’s a dandy record. Actually it’s not to be honest, but it sounded pretty neat at the time.')
(JP: 'The chaos that is Peel Acres: things have degenerated to the point where recent records, 12” in particular, I simply cannot find. They are just piled up all over the house, it takes me hours to find each and every one of them. What I’m going to do about it I don’t know - burst into floods of tears I suspect.')
  • Major Mackerel: Bust Liberty (12" - Imposter) Greensleeves GRED 353
  • (Mark Kramer of Shimmy Disc has a new label called Kokopop – JP plays three 7” singles all released in 1992)
  • Zuzu's Petals: 'Psychotavern (7")' (Kokopop)
  • Chia Pet: 'Hey Baby (7")' (Kokopop)
  • Morning Glories: 'California Days (7")' (Kokopop)

  • (1 am news - edited out)
  • Flys: What Will Mother Say? (7") Parlophone %
JP: "I'm feeling curiously light-headed at the moment actually, probably as the result of my hectic drive back from De Montfort University... so if I suddenly announce that I'm an elephant's foot umbrella stand or a pot of raspberry jam, bear with me 'til the end of the programme."
