John Peel Papers

"I Was a Teenage Archivist. This Facebook Page is a unique record of my experience of listening to the the mighty music guru John Peel. From summer 1978 to mid-80s. I’ll be adding playlists regularly."(John Peel Papers page at Facebook)

With permission from the uploader at Facebook, information from the original scanned playlists was added to existing pages at John Peel Wiki and used to create new ones. This was an invaluable addition to the existing data on the era at this site. Sadly John Peel Papers was unable to complete the uploads, but the notebooks were saved so they may see the light of day in the future.
In 2023, I (Weatherman22) realised that for some of these scans the other side of the page could be vaguely made out. I went through of the scanned images I'd downloaded, reversed the image and also created a negative to make them easier to read, and managed to add additional tracklistings. Sometimes that was clear enough on its own, other times I had to cross-refer with the BFBS shows of the time to fill in the partial recognitions, or use the visible record label notes and a few letters of the track and artist and cross-refer with similar dated shows, to work it all out. Some of the additional listings are partial as the writing on the primary side was just too strong to make out the other side. What is apparent is that what was originally shared was only a small subset of the notebooks - without exception what was on the other side of each page was an adjacent show, so I think that it is likely that the notebooks represent an almost complete set of tracklistings between 1978 and 1984. 
These are the newly updated tracklistings:
20 February 1979
13 March 1980
05 February 1981
