Various - John Peels Archive Things

Review by Thom McKiernan

John Peel's Archive Things by Various is a fascinating collection of music that spans several decades and genres. The album is a testament to the late DJ's eclectic taste and his dedication to discovering new and emerging artists.

The album features a wide range of styles, from punk to folk to electronic music, and includes tracks from both well-known and obscure artists. The songs are presented in their original form, with no remixes or alterations, giving listeners a glimpse into the raw energy and creativity of these musicians.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Teenage Kicks" by The Undertones, a classic punk anthem that still resonates today. Other notable tracks include "Bobby Brown Goes Down" by Frank Zappa, a satirical take on celebrity culture, and "I'm Waiting for the Man" by The Velvet Underground, a gritty and powerful portrayal of urban life.

Two BBC radio shows I remember most back in the 90’s when I was a Poly student in Brighton, were Giles Peterson’s and John Peel’s. Rythmical, hypnotical, lyrical. Music that made you dance and put you in a trance.

I felt this is something that Voyager would play.

Thanks for this, weird and wonderful. How about a set list?

Thank you so much for posting this gem!
Around 1970, when I was about 16, John Peel had two shows on BBC Radio One. The midweek one (Wednesday early evening?) was the weirder of the two, and amongst playing and championing Captain Beefheart's music, as well as a wide range of lesser known but important music, he played tracks from the BBC Sound Archives. My memory tells me that if all the ones he played during the run of that show were compiled, then there would be enough for three or four CD box-set, if not more. My friend Ed and I would go to his house where we could hear it on a relatively good radio, and be able to listen to the whole show without being interrupted. Absolutely fantastic! I still have my vinyl copy somewhere!

simply wonderful... John Peel to a great extent was responsible for my musical education and opening my eyes for music widely over the normal horizon...
