Hi-Fi Weekly

Hi-Fi Weekly & Record Review was a magazine published in the UK in the 1970s. It was one of a number of magazines catering for the booming hi-fi market, but unlike its competitors (which included the similarly-named Hi-Fi News and Record Review, founded in 1958 and still in business) was published weekly rather than monthly. Its managing director was Jack Hutton, formerly editor of Melody Maker and founder of Sounds. It carried a Top 50 LP chart and record reviews covering pop, jazz and classical releases, as well as articles on hi-fi equipment and ads from hi-fi retailers.

John Peel was interviewed for the publication's 25th issue, dated 26 Feb. 1977. Trailed on the cover as "John Peel meets John Peel and talks hi-fi", the article was by one of the magazine's writers who shared the name of the celebrated DJ. As a photo caption of interviewer with subject notes, "the slightly more famous one wears the beard - not the glasses".
The pair discuss both autobiographical details and equipment for playing records and tapes. Peel had previously described his hi-fi system in Sounds of 26 May 1973, and it didn't seem to have changed much since then. The system was made up of good quality components, but he admitted that he wasn't really a hi-fi buff. He surprised his interviewer by saying that he sometimes preferred to listen to records in mono. 
The "other" JP also contributes two rather more technical pieces to the issue, on the evolution of stereo and the design of amplifiers.
