- John Peel was one of the most important figures bringing numerous unheard of, sometimes obscure, bands to "the masses". Also he was a really nice guy, never seemed to have a bad day, always had positive things to say about the session!
This is most of the show, cuts off a few of the "festive fifty" towards the end.
Features sessions by.... well John will tell you right at the beginning!
Any revenue will go to the respective owners of rights - that's the way youtube works - may not be available in Canada and other territories. I have no idea why!
I have more Peel shows to upload depending on how "liked" this is - it's pretty time consuming - let me know
Growing up in a Jamaican family, born in the UK I absolutely loved listening to John Peel at night while in bed with my transistor radio hidden under my blankets so my parents could not hear. I was not always successful; they would come in and tell me to "Turn that radio off". Thank you, John Peel, for all the memories and the introduction to Ian Dury and the Blockheads. Thank you to the uploader. I really miss living in the UK in the 70's. It was not so bad.
Wish I could come home one weary night , switch on the radio and hear that voice just once more.
The dilemma of home taping a two-hour show - a C90 cassette would usually give you better quality sound than a C120 one but you'd lose the last half hour; a C120 tape was much more likely to be fragile and temperamental; two C60 cassettes per show would soon get expensive. And that's without the wildly differing quality of tapes available from various manufacturers. Trial and error eventaully convinced me that TDK tapes were the only ones worth buying; they would probably still play today. As for the rest - crumbling to dust by now, or losing/lost their magnetic coating. Nothing lasts for ever ...
Still.got.loads.of mine left including a fewJohn.Peel.shows,worst.tapes.in my opinion were Virgin records.pre recorded ones. they were.cheap and nasty 😎 like me!!! 😁
What a different world 😆
I ve got over 100 tdk tapes with vance and peel from 1981 to 1985. The playback quality is as true as the day i recorded.
It would be hugely appreciated if you could digitise and make available for posterity! @@petertraynor440
I still listen to my C90 TDK tapes and they still sound as if I'd just recorded them.
Those 2 hours were fantastic, in another world from parents, life, we were in an exclusive club, John peel spoke to so many generations the same way. Brilliant days.
Off to bed Peel is on. Those were the best days.
One thing I notice is how little work Peel does during the show. The occasional comment, but mostly just this band, this song and then he plays ALL the song without talking over it. A lot of modern DJs could do with learning from him…
Exactly! One of the reasons I liked Peel apart from the music, was just that, most DJ's back then all liked the sound of their own voice, & seemed to want to be stars! BBCradio6 purports to the the sons & daughters of Peel, but most presenters are the modern equivalent of Dave Lee Travis, ie like the sound of their own voice and seem fake, RIP John & thanks for the music & thanks for uploading this
JP like what he played so he was just anything listener. Not many in his mould sadly.
I totally agree. In the modern era DJ'ing's all about talking over 'records' as a means for achieving celebrity.
Wirral's finest.
Nothing better than having a brand new C90 and doing a "Peelie"!
Same, but my dad's old cast-off Philips reel to reel with a 'magic eye' recording level, and taping Peelie over my sister's expensive and probably rare pre-recorded Bowie tape 🙄
Peel knew we were all taping, he would say, 'pause tape' after a popular tune. I disposed of twenty years worth of John Peel Show tapes back in 2006, not knowing that I could have transferred onto my computer, so thank you for TH-cam.
Yup! Similar time to when I threw out all my vhs tapes, same reason. Some Monty python sketches gone for good
The thinking man's radio presenter, and a British National Treasure. John Peel forever.
John Peel introduced me to a vast amount of tip top bands thank you very much Sir !
Jackdaw with crowbar
Enough said
In loving memory of my father (rip) who invites me to the fascinating world of John Peels radio show when I was 15 years young...📻🥲❤️
I'm pretty sure that I'm right now listening to this broadcast for the second time after nearly 43 years as though it's the first! Thank you for sharing what you prized so highly way back....
British reggae from the turn of the decade into the early 80s was so good.
Groovey people, yes, yes we were, and still try to be.
Beautiful. Awesome transfer!
Listening to Peel During my "A" Level years early 90's.....got me through it.
How have I ignored Bow Wow Wow all these years 🤦🏽♂️ this, is why; he is the best radio DJ of all time
Loving listening to this on a shitty Sunday winter’s night. Please post more? Jeez, life was so great in the early eighties. Cheers!
It was JP in 1980 that got me into music. Best few years ever, listen to the crap that's on now.
Great sound quality. Best John Peel upload for sure !! All great sessions particularly The Ruts . R.I.P Malcolm & Paul.
God The Ruts were so bloody good. Saw them once 🔥🔥
starts the show with Bow Wow Wow ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Got a 120 Pure Ferro and a timer,stolen from my mothers garden lights for late night schow...both worked perfectly...while i was in the city with friends...everytime great fun to hear the show next day 1:13:42
Gratitude from Tokyo
This is fantastic! What memories! Thanks for sharing this
Many Thanks for this upload, one of the very best imo.
christmas time was great being a teen in the late 70's and early 80's, down purely to Peel's festive 50. it is a shame there aren't a lot more surviving festive 50 shows.
Loved when he played reggae music. Burning Spear ect....
Glad to discover this version of Bunnymen's "Heaven up Here"!!!
Listening 40 years later in Hospital how time fucks you up😂
Get better soon.
@@hatednyc Thanks 😊
Hope you're better old boy
@@brodyroper8288 Out now thank you.
Genuine in his appreciation of music a true champion of talent.
Unmatched. He helped promote Zim music. What an icon ! Long live his legacy
@@collernwellbdonegogolkotok5406
I never knew that but I’m not surprised great guy.
@@CheshireCars played huge role
@@RJJNY Anazing but that was JP
Your efforts very much appreciated
What a loss. Life would never be the same after his death.
This is an incredible upload, thank you!
What a great show
Please upload more of this!
Fantastic Graham, thanks!
Amazing! Thanks a lot for the sharing! 🙏💜
Yes !
In 1980 I sent a stamped addressed envelope to John Peel and in return I got a paper print out of the festive 50. Technology might have advanced but the mystical magic it conjured up will not be equalled
i was hopeing to stumble upon this kind ove recording ove jp fanxxxxingtastic
Thank you for uploading.
Wow, what a line up!
Great stuff !
🙏🏽
❤
Bunnymen were clearly still working out Heaven Up Here song there
The sound quality amazing, l wonder what tech he used. Though this show is a game of differentiate the yodely guitar band ;-)
BBC didn’t skimp on quality - there’s probably pictures of studio on interweb somewhere. “yodely” LoL - but true
White Wulf of Wessex, is it possible to have the whole playlist with bands and tracks? I can't recognize some of them. Thank you! 🙏🖤

Мне нравится.
digging
JOY DIVISION > SLF 😍
The Lady Diana song 🙄 NEW ROSE.
V high quality recording...made on a good tape deck?
at the time yes Nakamichi - the tape was just average CRO
@@bassaxist Ah Nakamichi....not surprised....great decks....Great sound...can hear very little wow & flutter...knew it must be something good!
Do you have any of his 30 minute BBC World Service programs ???
No but I do have several other tapes of shows - just need to find time!
@@bassaxist ok I had tapes from 1984 to 86, converted to digital/mp3, may hope to find time to upload.
Peel and Tommy Vance. Only shows worth listening to, and sadly, nothing has replaced them that's any good. Tom Ravenscroft on 6 Music is JPs son, and he does a fair show. Just peed off that both the BBC and Glastonbury have shunned his name over abuse claims that were never substantiated.
Not heard of Tom Ravenscroft. Thanks!
Totally agree with you and 6 music is pretty much the only okish substitute in the years since. Had no idea about any abuse claims though
@@andyhuston8833 there arent any, he's trolling or doesnt know what a pedo is
No !
I would like to ask where do these recordings come from? At the time they would have been broadcast on AM radio but the sound here is better than FM-quality so it can't be a recording a listener made in 1980. Do the BBC really have high quality recordings of everything ever broadcast and if so how did you get access to these tapes?
It was recorded off air on a reasonable quality (“pro”) cassette deck, but it was broadcast on FM. So yes it was a listener 🙂
Thanks. Radio 1 didn't start broadcasting on FM until 1988, so did they repeat old shows from 1980 on FM? I don't remember that. @@bassaxist
I guess it must have been AM then def not a repeat @@caphep
@@caphepPeel's show was definitely on FM in late 70's. I was recording late 70's punk sessions in Edinburgh, if I wasn't at a gig.
@@caphep radio 1 broadcast some of their shows on vhf/fm right from their birth in 1967. However they shared the fm/vhf band with radio 2, so the peel show was broadcast on radio 2’s wave band as well as radio 1’s mw station. What you’re referring to in 1988 is when radio 1 got its own fm frequency, and listeners no longer had to tune to radio 2 to hear the peel show.
I hope one day, he did get to have lunch with Khrissee Kaczynski.
Great DJ, shame about the paedophilia.
He wasn't. Times a lot different then. Girls threw themselves at guys like this. He was a young guy enjoying himself same as I would given the chance. It went on all the time. Totally different to the Jimmy Savilles of this world.
John's affliction wasn't pedophilia, which has a specific definition and relates to prepubescent children. I understand that people repulsed by his honesty want to claim otherwise and use the word "kids" in relation to him, but that doesn't make it accurate or change any of the history. In this very show he laments Clare Grogan not showing up for a lunch and I remember his discomfiting obsession with her. Grogan was 18 and Peel was 41. He wasn't totally lacking self-awareness about it and joked at his own expense (but seemingly couldn't help himself either). Not saying any of this in approval of his behavior or excusing it - it just wasn't pedophilia.
@@JR-nm3xj Good post JR totally correct.
Yes !
