John Peel's Record Box

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Scene with Mary Anne Hobbs

John Peel's Record Box is a documentary film made by Elaine Shepherd, released on November 14, 2005 on Channel 4. It was nominated for Primetime Emmy Award.

It is about a small private collection of the British radio DJ John Peel who died in 2004 in the age of 65. His archive contained more than 100,000 vinyl records and CDs. This collection contains 143 singles - some of them doublettes - stored in a private wooden box representing some of his own favourites.

The film features interviews with John's wife Sheila Ravenscroft, radio DJs and artists like Mary Anne Hobbs, Sir Elton John, Ronnie Wood, Roger Daltrey, Fergal Sharkey, Jack White, Michael Palin and Miki Berenyi.
