Led Zeppelin - Communication Breakdown BBC Sessions. June 24th 1969
John Peel’s record collection is being put online in “virtual” form.
The John Peel Centre in Stowmarket will recreate the late broadcaster’s home studio for an Arts Council project called The Space.
People will be able to browse through some of his 25,000 vinyl LPs.
Sheila Ravenscroft, Peel’s widow, said: “We’re very happy that we’ve finally found a way to make John’s amazing collection available to his fans, as he would have wanted.”
Wirral-born Peel, who died in 2004, was a champion of new music during nearly four decades as a DJ on BBC Radio 1.
The legendary DJ’s collection also includes 40,000 vinyl singles as well as CDs, but the project will focus on loading the vinyl first along with some of his personal notes, contributors’ stories and filmed interviews with family and musicians.
The artwork of the records will be scanned and although listening may be limited due to copyright issues, there will be access to the BBC radio archive of Peel Sessions.
