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.

Tape[]

Name
  • some best of 80's peel and jensen vol 2
Station
YYYY-MM
  • 1983
  • A compilation recently discovered by Peel Mailing List user parkermike81, consisting of tracks from Peel and David Jensen's shows (although the latter features only on the first track) during 1983 or 1984. He apparently made it for his mother and consequently the songs featured are much more radio-friendly than his Best Of Peel Mixtapes. Many thanks to him for making this material available.

Tracklisting[]

Part 1

(JP: 'Not sure if that's been getting a lot of daytime play, but it should have been, I think....sort of thing you see and hear on Top Of The Pops.')
(JP: 'Chart-bound sound! Wouldn't it be nice to think that it was?')
  • Hashim: 'Al-Naafiysh (The Soul) (12")' (Streetwave)
(JP: 'I'm sure that's been played many times on the radio by Peter Powell and others, but it's the first chance I've had to play it.')
(JP: 'There's also a 12 inch version of course, which goes on till around lunchtime tomorrow.')
(JP: 'My inability to pronounce foreign languages is a constant source of distress to me and probably to you as well, judging by the letters: people writing in to say, "For Christ's sake get it right."')

Part 2

(JP: 'I've an uneasy feeling that one of my winter colds is coming on...my voice is starting to go deeper, and that's usually a bad sign. Exciting, of course, I understand that, but a bad sign from my point of view.')
(JP: 'Not been a bad programme I think, this, musically at any rate' I've been almost entirely incoherent since the programme started, but this is not because of strong drink, although at times I sometimes wish that it was.') probably 01 February 1984
