SoundCloud user +dB has uploaded 458 radio episodes from the late DJ, comprising more than 900 hours of music. The episodes date from 1967, when Peel was at Radio London, to 2004, when he completed his final shows for the BBC.' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R94N 10 Posted September 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 As someone who was too young to hear him the first time around, I think I will be listening to a few of these when I get a spare moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC 87 Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 SoundCloud user +dB has uploaded 458 radio episodesi've heard of this guy, basically he runs a site called 'mixesdb':-http://www.mixesdb.com/w/Main_Pagenot only are the peel shows on there, i've gotten some judge jules shows from there too. and there's a massive backlog of the essential mix going back to 1993 unless they have been taken down again.

Heck even the younger generation (i.e. most of Radio 1's audience now) have probably never heard of him. Of course this is terrible but this will happen to everything at some point. For example during the Olympics ceremonies people were tweeting saying they had no idea who Paul McCartney was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harkinson 11 Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 Only found out about him recently through an article saying about one of the DJs he disliked.. Think it was Moyles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nik B. 10 Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 If I remember correctly he absolutely loathed Moyles xD Quote Nik B.Born to Toads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC 87 Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 back in 1997 that was the case, but i think it settled down in later years. Quote on the grid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R94N 10 Posted September 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 Yes from what I've read at first Peel didn't like him a whole lot but later they made up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
