A 'best compilation' of John Peel and his wife Sheila's vintage record collection, quirky but this music provides an insight into the "musical mindset" of the Peels.
John was a legendary British born personality who had a stint over in USA and then returned and began his BBC DJ career with the BBC in the late 60's, he was most known for introducing 'alternative genres' such as punk, hip hop etc to mainstream radio audiences

2006
German release
Digipak packaging is in very good condition, seams are both sound, CD hub is fine, inner English language booklet is fine and there is a German language promo for the label Trikont. NOTE: Apparently there was originally intended to be an additional booklet, in German, but this is NOT included, just the English booklet is supplied.
CD media is in very good condition, this means that I have visually inspected the media and I can see no scuff marks or scratches on the media. Just looking at the disc is not a great way to judge the condition so I then played the ENTIRE release, all tracks, and there are NO issues with playback at all.
