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
  • Incomplete show. Recording starts mid-song.
  • JP comments that the track names on the upcoming Cocteaus album seemed to have been changed from ones previously used during sessions.
  • Other major album releases featured including the new LPs from the Smiths and Frankies. The Smiths track played here is from a Jenson session. Peel remarks that he seems to be about the "last on the block" to receive a copy of the much-anticipated Frankies debut.

Tracklisting[]

JP: I don't suppose there's any way that Welcome To The Pleasuredome could actually live up to people's expectations, but it comes close, and that is about as good as you can expect, I think.
