THE JOHN PEEL SHOW

Kat's Karavan - The History of the John Peel Show [2009] (4 x CD's)

This lavishly packaged hard back book style set contains singles and Peel session recordings by some of John's favorite artists. Disc One highlights include the Misunderstood and the recently discovered Peel Session version of Free's 'Walk in My Shadow'. This is one of four unreleased versions on this disc; the others are by John Cale, Medicine Head and the Boomtown Rats. Alongside many long deleted rarities. Disc Two's highlight has to be John's only appearance on record, singing backing vocals to Altered Image's 'Song Sung Blue'. It sits alongside unreleased recordings by Elvis Costello, the Cure, Linton Kwesi Johnson, Julian Cope and Soundgarden. Disc Three features unreleased recordings by Hole, Thievery Corporation, Marxman, Tiger and Justin Berkovi. Disc Four Has nine unreleased recordings by Bloc Party, Mercury Rev, And You Will Know US By the Trail of Dead, Bong Ra, the Datsuns, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, the Hellacopters, Soledad Brothers and Your Code Name Is; Milo. 

Great set of tunes and, like any Peel Session, I'm still discovering new bands through him. Only gripe is that the compilers decided to wait so long into the first CD to have the first recorded word of Peelie appear. Could have easily started with a "this one comes in quietly" just to start things off. Other than that, if you're a fan of the late great John Peel this is a must for the collection. Some rare stuff here from the heart of a rare soul.  British gentlemen of a certain age will find this an essential collection to own. Sure, you'll find much to quibble about the selection, which is probably as quirky as the Peel show itself, but don't let that hold you back. (Amazon)
