Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Absolutely unclassifiable
Yup - have to agree with the first two reviews. Bought for me by my son for a birthday present, I suspect he may have just looked at the words "John Peel" on the sleeve without perhaps reading the notes as to what was contained therein. Perhaps I do him an injustice, but it was with some trepidation I put this on the car CD player this morning.

This is a selection of discs from John Peel's 78 rpm collection; a personal project interrupted by his death in 2004, it has been completed by his widow and issued by Trikont. Each 78 has an explanation in the booklet for its inclusion; there are 78's from the relatively common like "Tom Hark" and Winifred Atwells version of the "Charleston" to a disc of impressions by Freddy Dosh that are... interesting....
I bought it for the Billy Williams (1877-1915) track, a ... Read More:
