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.

Volume

Sign in to edit

Volume was a magazine in the form of a series of compact disc compilation albums that were published in the UK in the early to mid 1990s. The albums typically contained exclusive tracks and remixes from a diverse range of indie artists. Each album was packaged with a 192-page booklet that contained features on the artists, and original articles. The booklet was the size and shape of a CD jewel case, and was usually packaged with the CD case in a cardboard sleeve. 'Volume One', the first issue, was published in September 1991. The series came to an end in January 1997, with 'Volume Seventeen'.

Several double-CD compilations were also released in parallel with the series, including the 'Trance Europe Express' series.

Links To Peel[]

Peel is known to have played tracks from all of the first 13 'Volume' CDs except 'Volume One', tracking the development of indie rock and dance in the first half of the 1990s, but only 'Volume 15' of the remaining four. He also gave airtime to many tracks from the label's 'Trance European Express" series and other electronic music collections.

In the 1980s, the DJ had played tracks from compilations released with 'Abstract' magazine, published by Volume co-founder Rob Deacon, who was also responsible for the Sweatbox and Deviant labels.
