The John Peel Centre for Creative Arts has announced that plans to digitize and make public the entire record collection the late, great John Peel have come fabulously to fruition.The John Peel Archive is now online, though what's been uploaded —and is freely accessible by any curious listeners— represents just a tiny fraction of the "26,000 LPs, 40,000 singles and many thousands of CDs" that make up Peel's personal connection.
The archive is being publicly released thusly: on May 1, the first 100 titles under A were made available; after that, May 8 will bring the first 100 Bs, May 15 the first 100 Cs, and so on, hopefully until the entire thing is online as one of the most astonishing cultural resources ever collected.
