John Peel - the album

[NMH]

And the Faces of course!!!

He loved Rod and the Faces ... before Rod sold out with Atlantic Crossing!

and of course Peely played mandolin on the Top of the Pops cut of Maggie May (the mandolin player from Lindisfarne played on the original album track/single)

Really? I thought it was Martin Quittenton who played on that famous 'B' side "Maggie May". Was it Simon Cowe or Ray Jackson of Lindisfarne who played that mandolin part?

Apparenty Jimmy Page played on Rod's first 45 in 1964, so he was off to a good start. He'd also already sang alongside 'Long John Baldry and his Hoochie Coochie Men', which was Cyril Davis's original band before he'd died.
This was around the catalyst of blues in London that was fostered by Alexis Korner, and spawned Graham Bond Organisation (rhythm section which made up Cream), Rolling Stones, John Mayall's Bluesbreakers (see also Fleetwood Mac, Aynsley Dunbar Retalliation etc) and others.

Don't forget Stewart was in the Jeff Beck Group too. I've got their first two albums.

not bad, but then again I've only heard of about half of them artists

 

[patcham seagulls]

no smiths?,
no happy mondays,
no new order?,
shows the depth and quality of his music if the above bands are left out

Looks good bar Boxer Beat - would have chosen "Just Got Lucky"

 

[patcham seagulls]

Martin Quittenton played accoustic guitar ... not sure which of the two Lindisfarne guys played Mandolin ... but one of em, I'm sure ... Peely filled in on ToTP

Truth and Orange ... or was it Apple () were the two albums .... Stewart's vocals on Morning Dew and You Shook Me are outstanding! IMHO

Just Got Lucky was I think their second hit - marvellous scenes at Coasters when Rory used to play it.

 

[patcham seagulls]

only attended coasters once, borrowed mates older brothers id
anyhow new years eve, Millwall at home next day, my mate tries getting in with a swiss army knife.
thought i was going to get nicked for fraud or something, however they let us in and when chucking out time came my mate gets pulled over taken to one side and has the knife returned to him
strangely i never went back

 

[Wozza]

Oh, apparently it's not an official John Peel album - just a forthcoming compliation called 'Teenage Kicks'.

As you were.

I thought John Peel was a big Gang of Four Man. Still, as has been said already this complilation is based of comercial requirements.
