Which are John Peel's 140 fave albums?

"23:10 John Peel's Record Box [subtitles]
In a small, battered wooden box, John Peel kept a precious selection of 7-inch singles that meant more to him than any of the others. This one-hour special reveals the contents of this box, providing a unique insight into the eclectic tastes of the renowned DJ and broadcaster."

Don't ask me to repost please because I'm clearing out my drives and this goes back into 'cold storage'! If only ten percent re-upload that should probably be enough for the regulars here - same principle will apply when I begin uploading more at j.p.everyday. I have faith in community (",)

DomesticEmpire, you spoil us! Many thanks!

or am i being terribly rude and self-centered and there's another distribution method i haven't picked up on yet?

i have to imagine the white stripes-heaviness of this box is the result of some story that may forever remain obscure.

think i need to cool down maybe

it's not important at all (tracer hand mentioned the subject) but that scrugg song was 087B according to the original numbering used in the times article upthread. i personally like that system, cds peel had several copies of count several times. using that system would leave "holes" in the sequencing from 001 to 142
as peel had less than 142 different singles in his wooden box but i don't see this as a problem. on the opposite there is a certain charm to this "imperfect" numbering i find.

Do what you want with them. Just thought you should know why they're different.

Nothing obscure there: His son Tom said it was because they were a recent obsession. He said something about how in ten years he might have removed them all and replaced them with something else. Anyway, don't know why people find it odd that he liked them so much.

yeah, re numbering, i guess we're all going to have our own little idiosyncratic way of doing things, there's just nothing else for it unless someone came in at the very beginning and laid down the law about it, which would have been nice, but also not quite in the spirit of things. i mean it wouldn't be right for it all to be easy and organized, now, would it!

in some bizarre psychosis, i actually went and found sleeve art for everything through "N", missing only about 15 songs. if people want, i can make a zip of that stuff and post it somewhere, too.

i'd be interested in those sleeve covers/art, tracer. any possibility of yousending them? i started looking for covers as well but i wasn't very successful. and got bored soon. where did you search? i just tried google image search and ebay.

yeah, i don't have any magic answer, i've just got a lot of free time this weekend. it is pretty crazy the stuff you find looking for stuff like this, though. for instance, pocket fishrmen may still be available on ebay here - http://cgi.benl.ebay.be/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=17646&item=4738445494&rd=1

also, this case study from the columbia law school web site about the legal disputes around "mojo workout" looks utterly bananas - http://ccnmtl.columbia.edu/projects/law/library/cases/case_Strachborneoarc.html

And I see the Gene Dozier song "Give The Women What They Want" is listed as the B-side somewhere here. Don't know if that's true but it's definitely the song that Peel considered the A-side – I remember him playing it following his broadcast of the Peelenium for 1975 (or thereabouts). It has an almighty funk groove and is worth tracking down. The song was originally recorded by the Isley Brothers circa 1969, but I don't think any version has seen the light of day on CD.

And what happened to the Toggery Five single? -
http://www.guardian.co.uk/friday_review/story/0,,362115,00.html

Felix, that's a valid point. As we know this record box was its 'nth incarnation following the loss of several over previous years and it might just be that this Toggery Five single was one one he'd not got around to replacing yet. I suggest we add this to the list a recording that old was hardly going to suddenly fall out of favour with the man.

thanks for putting together the cover art! I'd not thought of that before, but it's a good source of information/context of these records. I guess we can try to fill in the gaps there as well.

And yeah, for the record, I was aware that Peel had duplicates, smarty pants.

As a figure of speech, the concept of having, or not having, one's MOJO working is not something in which any one person could assert originality, or establish a proprietary right. See infra, p. 1404, et seq.

that'll be 'The Label' 8)

peel is also being inducted to music hall of fame some time this week, there's a 3 hour show on ch4, about 10 minutes of which will be worth watching.

By my reckoning, 108B on the original list :-}
