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.

John Peel Wiki

In September 2014, TheSpace and JohnPeelArchive websites launched a new Record Boxes series, featuring selections from John Peel’s record collection by key music figures.

The series is unrelated to John Peel's Record Box, a wooden box of favourite singles that became the subject of a TV documentary in 2005, or the Peel's Record Box monthly lists of current favourite singles and albums that the DJ submitted to the BBC Radio One website from 2002.

The sixth record box of the series was chosen by Shane Embury of Napalm Death.
