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.

Building 44 were a band comprised of Pete Reynolds (vocals), Kenneth Nelson (synthesizer, vocals), Tony Jones (bass, vocals) and Dave Reilly (drums, percussion). Their song Number Two featured on the German cassette compilation The Best Of the Rest 11/12. In 1984, Nelson was replaced by Dave Reilly and the band signed to Inevitable Records, based at Amazon Studios in Liverpool. They toured with China Crisis (with whom Reilly went on to play drums and percussion, including on their first Peel Session), the Lotus Eaters and Mari Wilson. Jones went on to play bass for the Christians and Nelson produced Coldplay's first LP. The band folded in 1988.

The band recorded a session for JP in 1983 (produced by Dale Griffin) which saw two repeats that year. Unusually, it only featured three songs instead of the usual four.
