John Peel's Record Box (3/4)

[@nitrousnine]

i like the quote from damon "alot of people like to go on about how they loved john but i haven't seen many behave the way he behaved on the radio" championing good music in other words...

[@rockyroadblues100]

Rip John a legend ,he went to see Gene and Eddie 1960 Brill

[@StreetBob-tn1ed]

his affect on music in the 60s 70s 80s was massive and will probably never be known

[@robfielding943]

even though i never had the chance to hear his shows before his death, he is such an inspirational person!

[@Khultan]

I discovered him too late but I love this man ♥

[@marsamgod73]

Couldn't agree more, I think there's a direct line between John's death and the state of music in the present day

[@conductive13]

i feel for you but he lives with his radio shows! Listening to them now takes you as close as we ever were ;) You enjoy! ... please everyone download and store ALL his shows they are at risk!! we must keep him alive (respect to kats karavan, the perfumed garden, JP everyday... all those that have contributed to keeping the shows available and john alive!

[@mister19stick]

6:34 Watch Francis Rossi's face. Hooray!

[@FangsFirst]

god I love Mark's reactions.

[@zappasmoustache23]

there is an archive of johns radio shows on soundcloud and various other streams and downloads in various places on the web.

[@conductive13]

hobbs and nightingale did pretty freaking well.... u go girls!

4:42 This is what annoys me about music lovers, and I used to be like that in a way. Just like whatever you like! Not because it's deemed good or cool or hip...John Peel's musical taste was not good or bad, it was his - he liked what he liked, that's it. There's no such thing as guilty pleasure in music, you like it, or you don't, it's not even a matter of choice. John Peel's musical taste doesn't have to be a reference. Put a record on, and it clicks with you or doesn't. The rest in meaningless.

[@danielleking1171]

john peel had the guts to say yeah i like quo or Sheena Easton. What mattered to him was do i like it is it a fun tune.Ok we may disagree but he wasnt worried about being cool .He didnt have to he was

[@deutschegrammophon8188]

3:35 "It's worth a fortune that", he says, holding the 7" with no care at all of getting it dirty. There must have been a reason for Peel to keep the singles in a small box!

[@sablebasilisk7998]

Joy Division . Thankyou John Peel...,

[@conductive13]

That was intense... I was listening to this outside... it's just blooming with Summer... i picked a Dandylion..... the video says ".. his record label was called Dandylion"!! Thanks John! We're still listening!!!!

[@alex24389]

at 00:30 does anyone know what type of clock that is?

[@conductive13]

I will never listen to T.Rex again! (not that i did anyway... although a good band)... Dont screw with my man John!!!!! love and respect... RIP!

[@dave631bnetzero]

OMG That record player will kill these records. Too heavey

[@dummytree]

Awful yes...

[@dummytree]

The take on T.Rex is one-sided, a bit...Apparently, John Peel liked each new single by T.Rex less and less, and didn't like "Get it On" at all - apparently Bolan thought it was the best thing he's ever done. Bolan's gigantic ego was hurt and the two men fell out.

[@Smudgie]

Check Smith`s pockets before he leaves.

[@karloffsidekickebay]

Wow…John even had a very rare Lynyrd Skynyrd Floaty Pen (1:40 in) amongst his artifacts…!

[@conductive13]

we need another john.... music is stale and it has kicked me in the ass

[@PAULLONDEN]

Surprised though why he ignored G.G.Allin.....who made a lot of shit (literally) , but had a few interesting ditties....that were made for John's unconventional boX......

[@PAULLONDEN]

John might be god,he wasn't unfallible though...Status Quo in their early 7t's incarnation is a case in point....bloody awful..not even a "guilty pleasure"...
