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.

  • Start of show: “Well, I do like that Pinhole record. I think we’ll start tomorrow night’s programme with it, but tonight it’s Lab 4.”
  • The first three non-session tracks on the show are all Japan-related.
  • JP says a complaint was received about a racist comment in the previous night’s show, but they’ve listened to the programme again and can’t find what it might have been.
  • Still outraged by the transfer of Robbie Fowler to Leeds from Liverpool. Apparently, wife Sheila and producer Louise had together decided by phone to keep the news from JP the previous evening until the end of his show.
  • Blames his “chubby little hands” for the regularity with which he inadvertently changes the speed on the turntable.
  • Almost turned on his heels and left HMV that day when the in-house radio announced a track from a “great LP by Natalie Imbruglia” – “but there were things I wanted to buy so I kept going, because that’s the kind of determined guy I am.”

Session[]

  • Six By Seven #4 First broadcast, recorded 2001-11-04. Four of the five tracks appear on the Sessions album.
