The John Peel Singles Box
Thursday 3 November 2005 @ 3:21 pm

Much ado about famed BBC DJ John Peel and his beloved wooden box full of 7″ singles (MetaFilter, BoingBoing). Only the ILoveMusic discussion group has been trying to gather the tracks together and finally somebody has posted a torrent.

It’s a work in progress apparently. I’m guessing the sheer scattered, eclectic nature of a collector like Peel means that the average muso has never even heard of most of these artists, nevermind rip them from their collection. For sure, some great tracks and then some tracks that only a mother could love (or an archivist like John Peel).
