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.

Introduction[]

Page to catalogue the collection of Peel tapes shared in 2009 by Peel Newsgroup member "IAParkin".

  • (IAP: Message to newsgroup)

I have been a lurker here for quite a while and may have something to contribute. I have recently digitised a fair few cassette tapes of John Peel shows from the late 80s to early 90s and am wondering if there is any interest. Most are full shows - songs + JP talking. Much of the charm of JP for me was the in-between song banter. The tapes were a mix of Type I and Type II tapes, with most being Type II. They were transferred via a Nakamichi Cassette 2 -> RCA -> mini > mac -> Audacity -> WAV format. The WAV files were then converted to both FLAC and MP3 formats. The total size of the MP3 and FLAC files are: 9.1G MP3_TAPES 30G FLAC_TAPES

It has been a while, but I have finally uploaded the files to a webhost that offers unlimited disk space and bandwidth. Let's see if that is true :)


HELP WANTED While the majority of these tapes have now been fully tracklisted, a few remain undated and contain the odd unidentified track. Any help in completing the pages would be much appreciated.
