John Peel - Day 2013: "My Old Peel Tapes ... Again!" (Pt. 3)

 

Hello dear friends,

sorry sorry sorry that I just got around to post this at this time of the day/evening, but I was stuck in office all day without any access to my music library.

John Peel - Day it is - or rather was - again today, and as usual I didn't come up with brilliant ideas about what to post on this special occasion, so I thought I'd just continue with another one of those old Peel BFBS - tapes.

And why not, I mean: it's music played by Peel back then and I assume there are one or two folk's faces out there to whom this old stuff might put a smile on ....

So please enjoy one of my favourite ones out of the nearly 400 tapes I recorded, Peel 018, from 1985:

Peel 018, C. 005/2:
179	Daytime Dilemma (Dangers Of
	Love)	Ramones
180	Snipe	Marc Riley with The Creepers
181	All That Ever Mattered	Shop Assistants
182	Just One Kiss	Cure
183	Swimming Ground	Meat Puppets
184	Absolute Body Control	DAF
185	The Blood	Cure
186	King Of The Hill	Minutemen
187	You Should Never Have Opened
	That Door	Ramones
188	Texas Wine	Jon Wayne
189	Spinning Round	Red Lorry Yellow Lorry
190	The Baby Screams	Cure
191	Special Delivery Stomp	Earl Bostic
192	Shadow Figure	Marc Riley with The Creepers
193	Animal Kingdom	Meat Puppets

Now, doesn't this tape really have everything you need in life? I mean, what more can you ask for?

As usual, downloadable as a folder, each tune separately (here) or as another awesome megamix (here).

Also, as usual, find the same thing - but with Peel bragging inbetween the tracks - on the Peel Wiki.

Keep it Peel, friends, will you?

Take good care,

Dirk

"My Old Peel Tapes ... Again!" (Pt. 2)

Good afternoon, my lovelies:

one comment to yesterday's post (so far):

George said...

Quality songs from 1985. Dino Lee's Good year I haven't heard for a long long time. I have it somewhere on CD, absolutely not recorded from the John Peel show. I have the Yeah Yeah Noh single packed away too. More of this please.

George, your will is my command, mate, therefore here's more of this indeed ... please enjoy Peel 9:

Peel 009, C. 012/1:

89	The Girl Who Knew Too Much	Jane Bond & The Undercovermen
90	I Wish I Was A Single Girl
	Again	Blood On The Saddle
91	Fruit Flies	3 Johns
92	Jackpot Jack	Room
93	Warm Leatherette	Normal
94	Party Line	Abbreviated Ceiling
95	World Turned Upside Down	Billy Bragg
96	That's How It'll Be	Lime Spiders

Get it here (folder) or here (in da mix, as they say).

Enjoy your Sunday, people!

"My Old Peel Tapes ... Again!"

Good morning friends,

this is just to let you know that I am still alive in one form or another: my hearing loss is still not fully gone and I can't really concentrate on important things. Reason enough for me to spend some time in front of the computer and do silly nonsense ... what I did in fact - in a true Miss Marple style - was trying to search for some tunes that I'm still missing on my old John Peel on BFBS cassettes, taped some 30 years ago and by and large I managed to get hold of the bulk of the specific songs on them on vinyl and/or mp3's within the years. Of course I will never fully achieve this - only a multimillionaire with loads of time could do so, I think - but within the last days I completed at least a few of the old tapes, partly quite illegally I'm afraid.  And, being a generous chap, I thought I'd let you participate and give you but one of them. A random pick this is really, Peel 14 (#14 out of 377 (!) cassette sides, mind you), recorded back in 1985.

So you may call this a mixtape, as simple as that, and why not. But it's a good one, believe me:

Peel 014, C. 017/1:
144	Love Under Will	Blood And Roses
145	Death Of The European	3 Johns
146	That's What Dreams	Green On Red
147	Good Year For The Roses	Dino Lee
148	Risk	Krupps
149	The Day After	Men They Couldn't Hang
150	Crimplene Seed Lifestyle	Yeah Yeah Noh
151	The Devil Goes To Whitley Bay	Janitors
152	Life's A Bitch	Bomb Party
153	Wo Wo Wo	Braille Party
154	Jilted John	Jilted John
155	Draining The Pool For You	Go Betweens

Download it here as a folder (with separated tracks) or here (as a Sexyloser - Megamix, all in one go).

Good stuff, I'm sure you agree. If you are interested in more of these tapes, just let me know.

And sorry for the crap tracklisting above, I just copied/pasted from the original excel - sheet .. couldn't really be arsed to write all that down properly. Also it's the music that counts, isn't it?

Off to the couch now for another hour before I have to head for an induction session at Little Loser's primary school of choice, not really something I would personally have chosen to spend my forenoon with, but there you are .... also my ears ring again and I feel dizzy. Will this ever end?

Enjoy,

Dirk

PS: if you prefer those tapes with Peel bragging along, go search for them on the Peel Wiki: years ago I sent them over to Steve in South Korea and he has got up to # 65 so far ...
