Sounds Playlist

Sounds Playlist was a section in Sounds music paper where music writers for the paper would choose three albums highlighted each week, that they were listening to. It is not known when it was started, but was used frequently in the early/mid 70's and may have continued into the 80's.

Links to Peel[]

Peel contributed to the Sounds playlist by providing three albums highlighted that he was listening to each week. His first contribution to the playlist was published on 21st July 1973, a week after his first article in Sounds along with his Singles Reviews. Peel's playlists continued most weeks until November 1974, where it seems he stopped contributing to it.

Below is the list of Peel's contribution to the Sounds Playlist:

  1. ↑ Sounds calls the album, "Love Masters". A compilation put together by journalist John Tobler (Zigzag, Let It Rock) for UK release only, it was initially referred to under this title. Confusingly, the record label calls it "Love Masters", the LP sleeve "Elektra Masters"[1].
  2. ↑ No such artist exists on discogs or any other site. A demo tape that would be interesting to hear !!.
  3. ↑ Can't seem to find this record, either it's obscure or Peel is doing a practical joke!!
  4. ↑ Can't find this artist or album on the internet, although according to this obituary[2] there was an East Anglian band called the After Burners who played around Norwich, possibly in the 1970s. No trace of a record label called Dormitory, though.
