Which are John Peel's 140 fave albums?

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

I just read about his record collection which may or may not be sold to someone (an American radio station? the British library?) on the Times site. They mention a box of records he was carrying around with him. Can anyone post the list?

Channel 4 has made a programme about Peel’s 140 favourite records, which he carried around with him in a box. A spokeswoman for the programme said: “It is the story of an obsessive DJ told through the treasured few records he carried with him everywhere.”

The 140 is probably all or mostly singles, not albums

A great pop song springs out of nowhere, sounds like other things but mostly resembles itself, and contains a series of musical and lyrical hooks so irresistible, so packed with slang, lust and alien rhythm,

i heart paul morley.

with reference to the certain band, i remember peel very briefly making a comment about how he thought they were a terrible singles band - or something to that effect. may go some way to explain that, perhaps he was more of a fan of the albums.

― mark h (mark h), Monday, 24 October 2005 07:56 (4 years ago) Permalink

.. but they're a brilliant singles band!

Unless it's 'oh I wish that single had ten more tracks on it'.

Freshmen - You never heard anything like it
YESSSS! The Freshmen were an old school Irish showband, of the sort who were expected to cover all genres, and this was their attempt at doing new wave. I've still got this on tape from a 1979 Peel show.

Mike Spencer and the Cannibals - Nothing takes the place of you
Gorgeous piece of blues.

79. Quads - You've gotta jive + There must be thousands
Best 10p I ever spent. Remember him starting and finishing one of his shows with this, having only taken receipt of it that afternoon

Some Chicken - New religion + Blood on the wall (RAW RECORDS)
The Users - Sick on you + I'm in love with today (RAW RECORDS)
Raw Records were the in-house label of my local record shop in Cambridge, Lee Wood's Remember Those Oldies. They sold Sniffin' Glue from Issue 1 onwards, as well as imported copies of Punk magazine, all the early Stiff/Chiswick stuff, all the early punk indies, and imports such as all the Pere Ubu Hearthan singles. Amazing place, that was. The Users were the first band I ever saw live.

The Upsetters - Bucky skank + Yucky skank
Oh, fantastic. Truly pioneering; pre-dates even Augustus Pablo. I discovered this on the orginal 7" last year.

Also, Julie Burchill and other h8erz please note the extensive array of classic soul, especially Stanley Winston - No more ghettos in America.

if i only had room for 140 records to carry around with me all the time i wouldn't waste NINE of the spaces on the white stripes!

i'm excited by about four of the singles on the list. zzz, whatever, wish the cult of peel would die.

that's a weird list. the 9 white stripes singles seem too many. recently i asked someone where to start with them (5 albums yet) and that person said, they are all essential. i immediately thought fuck them then. i mean what i heard of them was ok but i'll never get 5 cds by them. if all is equally good it is also equally bad.

the cat power single he chose is from her 1st album. the only one i don't have!

the buzzcocks are the only punk band on there i know. excellent band and song choice for that genre that's for sure.

i am surprised not to find any joy div, the fall and the smiths on there. didn't he like the smiths?

― alex in mainhattan (alex63), Monday, 24 October 2005 15:40 (4 years ago) Permalink

the whole list looks a little far-fetched to me as if he only liked pretty unknown stuff. it's almost like a collector's list. i am disappointed, i must say.

― alex in mainhattan (alex63), Monday, 24 October 2005 15:45 (4 years ago) Permalink

> Does no-one notice a certain band conspicuous by their absence?

said certain band makes two appearances on his Fabric cd (ok, 1 and a half) which i think is more representative of his live sets.

might have the Golinksi Brothers thing somewhere as well. and the YMCA thing.

X-post

I'm wondering why you are feeling disapointment over the musical choices of a man whose tastes are obviously completely unknown to you?

Peel is not famous for inventing student discos. Even in the mid-80s he was more likely to play the Bhundu Boys than the Smiths. He was no more a champion of Joy Division than he was of Charlie Feathers. And dozens of his favourite bands like Bogshed, Marc Riley and the Creepers and Half Man Half Biscuit easily surpassed the Smiths in terms of airplay and sessions recorded.

As for saying it's like a "collectors" list. Errrrr. Well, firstly he WAS a collector. Secondly, "Danger -High Voltage", "9 to 5", "Down Down", "Happening Ten Years Time Ago", "Without You", "Everybody's Talking", "My Friend Jack" and lots of others on this list are familiar top 40 hits in the UK.

― everything, Monday, 24 October 2005 16:25 (4 years ago) Permalink

maybe i should have said surprised instead of disappointed. surprised because of the little overlap between his and my favourite music. you are absolutely right i don't know shit about the music john peel loved, i hardly ever listened to his program.

― alex in mainhattan (alex63), Monday, 24 October 2005 16:52 (4 years ago) Permalink

I think it's a fantastic list of singles. Yeah, my eyes paused on the Sheena Easton, but of the stuff I know, I love it, and I'm really curious about the stuff I don't know. I also find it hard to understand how one could be dismissive, or at least not curious, about the stuff they don't know. I assume the box was a constant work in progress since there's a fair amount of music from the last 10 years.

I had that Pocket Fishrmen record on the list a long time ago. IIRC it sort of sounds like Sonic Youth doing another Crime cover. Maybe a bit like the one time Am Rep band, Vertigo.

I'm not disappointed in the slightest by the selection.

The only one I'm surprised with is Nilsson's "Without You". It was number one for ages at the time, and I hated it as much as "Everything I do". Now, I can appreciate it more, without necessarily liking it. (The other Nilsson on is fant. btw)

Oh, and I am so "YEAH!" for the YSI's. THAKNS!

some great, great records there. as for the massive amount of jack white 7"s, well, John loved the Stripes, and Jack, and since the majority of those 7"s are collectors items (and had become so very soon after their fame exploded) i don't doubt they are precious to him, as Jack probably gave 'em him himself.

alex... you hate most of these records because you've never heard of them? insane. the reason why the cult of peel is so swollen, and why people mourn his passing so much, is because he would probably have greeted a carton of 140 records he'd never heard of as a reason for celebration, because he was always interested in that which he wasn't already familiar.

the person who pointed out Peel didn't invent indie discos is my new favourite poster.

yeah, that doesn't make any sense to me either. but i'd say start with 'die stihl' (the 'songwriting' album) or 'get behind me satan' (my favourite, their most unhiged and also their most crafted), or track down a copy of 'handsprings', which might be the best thing they've ever done.

you can burn cds using multisession support which means you can add tracks later. this only(?) works with cds burnt as data (ie mp3s) and not (i don't think) burnt as audio (but then, by my calculations you'd need about 10 cds for the audio version and 2 for the mp3s)

99p from ebay. turned out to be the tune they used for the very start of the peel documentary over the slowed down film of peel at his wedding (ie is great if a little lachrymose). not entirely sure it doesn't jump towards the end - there is a mark on the vinyl but i watched it play and it seemed ok.

1 month passes...

Right:

I bought "Sipple up deh" off ebay, and it just came from JA.

"Revolution Dub" is the same as "Sipple Dub" off the box "Rare Dub" as mentioned. Except my single is scratchy/crackly like a mother.

(cheers mark. was good to find out for sure)

anyhoo, Peel's Birthday today. which calls for presents.

094, the Spitout single has been found by an anonymous somebody and is available from the usual place. (currently it's a 3 track m4a but i've sent him a version of it split into mp3s so you may want to wait a while until that's up). (it's very noisy)

also, 008 Arthur K Adams has also been found (Speed Limit Records - http://speedlimit45rpm.com/) and will be available shortly.

5 new tracks in the last 3 days, woot. at this rate, and with 10 left to find, we'll be finished next week 8)

(oh, and, as someone said way above, i think the other side of the Electro Hippies track is You Suffer by Napalm Death:

http://www.discogs.com/release/367419
was mentioned in Guardian a week or so ago as shortest single)
