Which are John Peel's 140 fave albums?

Hi,

Not as yet, but.

Listening to Peel's intro to a 1973 Be Bop Deluxe session and it's striking how different his on-air voice is from later years. He's even more lugubrious and deep-voiced in 1973. Anyone know if the change was intentional or just something that gradually happened?

He definitely tried his hardest to distance himself from his fluty-voiced public school hippy persona of the late 60s, I didn't know he was doing it as early as '73 though.

I think Marc Bolan broke his hippy heart tbh.

coulda been bowie

I have a theory that when he was in the process of trying to lose his hippy trappings he based a lot of his vocal mannerisms on John Walters, his producer, they could sound very similar.
