The Records That John Peel Loved The Most!

These were the records that were found in john peels favourite box. A collection that he took with him to gigs, and kept aside from his main collection. The ones that no one else was allowed to touch!

I have also included at the end, the track listings to his tribute album the Fabric 7 live album and Right Time, Wrong Speed, which also contain more of his favourite tracks.
