John Peel: This is the introduction to an LP called "The Ghost Orchid". I'll read this very badly, as I always do, but I'll do my best:
The Parapsychic Acoustic Research Cooperative [PARC], in association with Ash International [R.I.P.] is proud to present the first ever fully comprehensive investigation into the paranormal phenomenon of EVP, otherwise known as Electronic Voice Phenomena. Without a doubt EVP falls into the category of the paranormal alongside other unexplained mysteries such as ufology, life after death, and poltergeist activity. But here for first time actual EVP recordings have been digitally remastered and presented with a comprehensive look at their possible origin. The listener is guided through a collection of strange and mysterious voices that have appeared without explanation onto the tapes of EVP researchers. Included with the CD is a 24 page booklet [...]
Actual voice samples are reproduced here for the first time on compact disc: Polyglot Voices, Public Service Broadcasting Interruptions and Singing Voices, Instant Response Voices and the extraordinary Alien Voices [....]
Are the voices extraterrestrial, paranormal evidence of our telepathic powers or an elaborate hoax perpetrated by sinister and powerful groups to mislead us from their true aims?
JP: Well, obviously make of it what you will, but essentially what they are saying, things just picked up from random from broadcast but entirely unrelated to those things. You may feel sometimes when you listen to aspects of these programs, that has been happening for many years right here on Radio One. But let's pretend that it hasn't, and I'll play you some of the alien voices from this LP. And I think you're going to – I mean, I shall occasionally drop other bits of it into the programme as well, because I think it is extraordinary stuff, and I think you will as well. I mean, obviously, there aren't any tunes in here, or if there are it's entirely coincidental. But here are some of those alien voices anyway, from "The Ghost Orchid"…
