Peel's Big 45

In his UK shows of the mid 1970s (for how long is unknown), John picked a record that he believed to be a necessary purchase for his listeners, and played it on his show daily for periods of around a week. In the last few years of his life, John re-used the title for the Pig's Big 78. This page is an attempt to list those items discovered via newly found recordings. Unless otherwise stated, the format is presumed to be the 7"single of the song. Please feel free to add chronologically any hitherto unknown records.
