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.

U.K. Buzz was a series of vinyls, between 1984 and 1985 started by Peter Gordon, President of the Thirsty Ear record label and Scott Piering, President of Appearing Music Industry Media Services, who spent a year in the UK to collect alternative music produced in Europe for the US market, primarily aimed at commercial and college radio stations. It is not known how many radio stations in America took up the offer of U.K. Buzz vinyls.

Links To Peel[]

Peel narrated the first five series of the vinyl, which he recorded at his home with music that was produced primarily in the UK. Most of the tracklistings on the series seem to be choices that Peel would have played on his radio shows. U.K. Buzz was very similar to the concept of Peel Out In The States, which also proved to be a one off.
