Sounds Playlist

thumb|220x220px
Sounds Playlist was a section in Sounds music paper where music writers for the paper would choose three albums highlighted each week, that they were listening to. It is not known when it was started, but was used frequently in the early/mid 70's and may have continued into the 80's.

Peel contributed to the Sounds playlist by providing three albums highlighted that he was listening to each week. His first contribution to the playlist was published on 21st July 1973, a week after his first article in Sounds along with his Singles Reviews. Peel's playlists continued most weeks until November 1974, where it seems he stopped contributing to it. 
Below is the list of Peel's contribution to the Sounds Playlist:

*Love: (LP - Elektra Masters) Elektra Sounds calls the album, "Love Masters".

Confusingly, the record label calls it "Love Masters", the LP sleeve "Elektra Masters".
