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.

  • Show comes from Maida Vale which hosts live sets from AM60 and Dustball, celebrating the fifth birthday of the Shifty Disco label.
  • Dustball cover the top 5 favourite releases from the label, as voted by fans via the Shifty Disco website.
  • There is a competition on the John Peel section of the Radio One website to win copies of the Shifty Disco singles club 5 CD boxet '0-60 In Five Years - The Complete Shifty Disco Singles Club Collection'.
  • JP: "Well it's been an important night of football for us in our house of course, Liverpool I think... managed to defeat mighty Leicester. Went a goal up, then dug in. Normally they go a goal down and dig in, having rather missed the point. And a good result for Ipswich at Portman Road [1], and the Pig hopefully driving back home listening to me on the radio and a happy young woman."
  • Having played 'Any More Than I Do' by The Attack on 22 January 2002 (a favourite of the DJ), Peel expresses his surprise at receiving a cover version in the mail the following week (by Total Sound Group Direct Action Committee). "I'd never heard a cover version of the song before in all of my life" he claims, erroneously. [2]
  • Staying with cover versions, Peel is puzzled by the track 'Highwire' by Jessica Bailiff & Alan Sparhawk, as it's a Marc Bolan track that he doesn't appear to know or own. Several listeners write in to say that it was a demo recorded around the time of the sessions for the 'Tanx' LP in 1972.
