The John Peel record collection

[dave w]

As you may be aware, the legendary collection is going on line. It's just reached the letter H - I'd expected to see one or two Roy records in there, but no. Lots of Peter Hammill & Haircut 100 (a Peel joke ?). No Hawkwind or Henry Cow either. I may have missed them. of course.

I think they haven't got past the HAM... yet..probably pending next upload?

if I'd read the blurb fully, it would have been clear that only 100 records of each letter are being loaded up.

Some Half Man Half Biscuit though - pride of Birkenhead

Presumably the Harpers tomorrow!?

Uh? If you click on John Peel at top left of screen you get shelves of records you can scan up to M. But seems to be a gap between Hamill and I? Unless I'm doing something wrong?

Aha! Just the first hundred of each letter being released each week...this could take years if they're going to do the entire catalogue? Roy and Nick could nearly fill one shelf?

Just happened to be listening to Radio 6 and apparently Jarvis Cocker is working his way thru the alphabet of John Peel's collection .. and NEXT Sundays show is for the letter "H" ... so you never know !?!

Listening to Jarvis Cocker is a high price to pay though.

Yeah I was hoping someone could listen next week and see if Mr H. is mentioned and then tell us exactly where about in the show ... so that we can dive straight in at that point (via iPlayer), to minimise the amount of JC we have to listen to !!
