John Peel: A Tribute/ Various - Tribute to John Peel

John Peel was BBC Radio 1's longest serving, most discerning and eclectic DJ. From the station's inception in 1967 to his untimely death in 2004, Peel acted as an avuncular guide to the wildest, weirdest and most wonderful byways and backwaters of the music world, introducing generations of listeners to their own taste and launching hundreds of careers as an unintentional by-product of his enthusiasm. This 2 CD set includes tracks by T. Rex, Pink Floyd, Faces, New Order, Joy Division, Undertones, Cocteau Twins, the Fall and more. Warner. 2005.
