Kieran Hebden, aka electronic artist Four Tet, is the latest guest to rifle through Peel Acres and help Tom Ravenscroft make sense of his dad鈥檚 vast record collection. Not only is Kieran a musician, but an avid vinyl collector himself - partly inspired by listening to John Peel on the radio.
Presenter: Tom Ravenscroft
Producer: Kevin Core
Track 1: You鈥檙e Gonna Miss Me - The 13th Floor Elevators (from The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators)
Kieran is immediately drawn to three copies of The 13th Floor Elevators鈥 debut LP - which is thought to be the first rock album to include the descripter 鈥減sychedelic鈥 in its title. They choose to listen to the original mono copy, which Tom suspects his dad bought at the time of its 1966 release, as he鈥檚 signed his name on the sleeve as 鈥淛ohn Ravenscroft鈥.
Track 2: Revolution - Tomorrow (from Tomorrow)
Kieran next hones in on the debut (and only) album by 1960s psychedelic rock band Tomorrow - who recorded the first ever John Peel session for 成人论坛 Radio 1. Kieran is no stranger to the LP, usually preferring the mono version, as 鈥渋t鈥檚 even crazier sounding鈥 than the stereo.
Track 3: No More Ghettos in America - Stanley Winston
Next pick is a 7鈥 single - and one Kieran hunted down himself after hearing it on John鈥檚 show (it was one of the DJs favourite records). Very little is known about the singer, Stanley Winston and this 1970 release may be his first and only.
Track 4: Heaven Heath - Mellow Candle (from Swaddling Songs)
Mellow Candle were a progressive folk rock band from Ireland; three school friends who鈥檚 only album was commercially unsuccessful on release in 1972 - but has since received critical acclaim. Singer Clodagh Simmons remembers John Peel writing an early positive review of their set at the Wexford Festival.
Track 5: Baby Your Phrasing is Bad - Caleb
Kieran was super excited to come across this ultra rare 7鈥 single by Caleb Quaye - the older half brother of reggae singer Finlay. Caleb is best known as a talented session musician, working particularly closely with Elton John.
Track 6: Love Buzz - Nirvana
Among some of the collection rarities, Kieran pulls out his last pick - not one, but two copies of American alt rock band Nirvana鈥檚 1988 debut single. Love Buzz was a cover, originally recorded by Dutch group, Shocking Blue.
