> "THE DEFINITIVE HISTORY OF THE JOHN PEEL SHOW
>
> Once upon a time there was a lonely public schoolboy whose dream  
> was to play the music he liked to other people on the radio. And  
> when he got his Radio 1 show, John Peel helped thousands of young  
> bands to realise their dreams too, inviting them to BBC Maida Vale  
> Studios to record 4 songs in an afternoon, for broadcast later.  
> Every new band's dream was to do one of these "Peel Sessions". Some  
> became stars (Pulp), others disappeared (The Would-Be's). Teenagers  
> tuned-in, taped, listened again, and again. Some would drift away,  
> only to rediscover the show years later, or find their children  
> listening-in. Peel's love of new music kept his dreams young and  
> that's why listeners loved him. The astonishing story of the Peel  
> Sessions is a story of teenage dreams, for teenagers of all ages."
