Name
  • The Peel Tapes Volume 18
Station
  • BBC Radio One
YYYY-MM
  • 1992
  • A cassette compilation from the collection of Peel Group member mr_maudlin, recorded from the BBC Radio 1 John Peel show but with no DJ links. Sigh.
  • The show was recorded on Hi-Fi VHS then edited to cassette from a good FM signal. The inlay card has the edit dates as: track 1-3 15Apr92; 4-7 24Apr92; 8-9 29Apr92; 10 10May92; 11-13 5Jun92; 14-15 7Jun92; 16 8Jun92; 17 24Jun92; 18-19 8Jul92; 20-22 18Jul92; 23-28 2Aug92. The edits were usually done within a couple of weeks of broadcast.
  • Favourite tracks: Kill Laura, Unrest, Love Child and the Drop Nineteens. I didn't really have any memories of making this tape and had thought it didn't look a terribly exciting listen (only the Winona and Church Of Satan tracks rang a bell) but after a couple of plays it is definitely a grower. Though I still wish I hadn't kept separate tapes for indie, reggae and electronica - a bit of variety would have been good. I do remember the Finnish band Roovel Oobik and the way Peel pronounced their name. In a notebook I used when making these tapes I had noted down the address for Stupido Twins Records; PO Box 301, 00121, Helsinki, Finland. Peel must have been keen for us to write to them, but I don't think I ever did.
