Which are John Peel's 140 fave albums?

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? -

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 :-}

any chance of a repost of
137: Rocket 455 - "Santa Ain't Comin Home For Christmas"?

the link just ain't working for me…

just to be clear about that sleeve art, i only included sleeves that i was reasonably sure were the actual singles themselves, rather than comps, albums, CDs, etc.

usually i really don't go for adding art, etc but it seems really nice with this project, as most of them are harshly-lit scanned photos of old dinged up seven inches.

(the link didn't seem to work for me. Thanks!)

Thank you Domestic Empire for posting that show and pointing out the images of the box itself!

Can people print REPOST so we can see at a glance it's a reposting request? Cheers :)

LOL - Paul you beat me to it you crafty bugger! Might as well post this now anyway.

A little while ago, I started a thread about 'your singles box' which came to mind while watching the doc last night. Alongside the rare singles (VU, Mutantes, Monks) theres oddities like Cheech and chong, the Move's "I can hear the grass grow" funnily enough, and "Afternoon of the rhino".

I'd hate to have that selection as being truly representative of my taste, but then it wouldn't all fit into one box. Much like there being no Fall in this one.

nice to see sheila in The Vaults t-shirt. (in the book it mentions that john had planned to wear one when they got to machu picchu knowing that there'd be a lot of pictures taken there, his way of getting them exposure)

first time i'd seen moving footage from the wedding as well.

oh, and the Ken Colyers Jazzmen thing would appear to be the one that isn't the Capri track, but the other one.

"More than two billion records and CDs have gone missing from personal record collections in the UK, fuelling digital music sales, according to research. The survey of 1,000 adults found theft or friends failing to return CDs contributed to depleted collections."

Huh, tell me about it.....

Of course whole swathes of the music Peel liked and promoted never used the 7" format.

Still a v entertaining prog, but could have been much better. And good to hear Drag Racing again.

bob, your recollections are just wonderful. it's really cool you could share that with us.

Yes, I am extremely chuffed to be in JP's personal collection - but I
wonder if he, or anyone else realises it's not a Jamaican thing - though it's listed on a few internet sales sites as that - in fact it was made in London, and mixed by Dennis Bovell's studio guy."

He thinks the label changed the name so as not to be confused with I Roy.
