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
  • Special edition of a weekly Saturday lunchtime show of that name introduced by Andy Peebles, in which Peel runs down ten of his top records. Many of these are familiar choices. Lack of the Fall is perhaps surprising, although JP mentions that Mark E Smith has one of his favourite voices.
  • Only two of the tracks (those by the Undertones and Misty) would later be chosen by Peel for inclusion in his eight Desert Island Discs, although all but four (by the Faces, Kop Choir, Cocteau Twins and Stanley Winston) would subsequently make it into the Peelenium. Singles of the Undertones and Stanley Winston tracks were later found in John Peel's Record Box.
