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
  • Peel Early Dec 1983
Station
  • BBC Radio One
YYYY-MM
  • 1983-12-xx
  • (Background of tape, including who made it, theme if any, notable songs, interesting Peel comments, etc)
  • Mostly Good Lemon Peel (name of the tape)
  • One of my favourite compilation tapes of the time. Just could not believe how good the Birthday Party were, and the two Fall tracks did as much to turn me on to the band as any others. Also one of the best Iggy Pop tracks.
  • Most tracks are from 12 December 1983 and 13 December 1983 and the Nightingales and Meteors sessions are complete.
  • Sound quality is good considering the recording equipment, a mono portable cassette recorder attached to a mono FM SW radio!.
