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
  • RF Sessions 1
Station
  • BBC Radio One
YYYY-MM
  • 1987-xx
  • First in a series of session mixtapes from Rob F. The sessions are not necessarily recorded in one take, as any missed tracks were added second (or third) time round, so it is not really possible all of these mixtapes, but where there are sufficient clues, this will be done.
  • Recorded on WHSMITH FE-1 C-60. This sounds like it has been recorded over a Billy Idol album, the snippets of which, needless to say, have been excluded.
  • I think Rob reused the tape again judging by the bit of 20th May at the end of side two, gradually filling each side with sessions from through the year. It's had an exciting life, as the leader is missing from the start of the tape, with music starting instantly on play after rewind!

I think you have to confront society with scar tissue you know. I've got a couple of bits on my left arm where I drove a tricycle through a greenhouse window and perhaps more impressively, one stitch underneath an eyebrow where my brother Alan hit me with a cricket bat. We're that sort of family. Very, very close. Terrifically close 12 August 1987
