Some items of music from the late, great John Peel's vast collection to be auctioned..
I remember his favourite single was The Underones "Teenage Kicks"

There's also a BBC podcast series called Peel Acres where musicians are invited to look at the collection and play some tracks.

At the risk of stating the obvious, a clearly incredible collection.

Must be a unique cultural record; ought to be preserved as a whole.

I heard that when someone first went in to catalogue his collection some years ago they were finding stuff that wasn't just rare, it was only rumoured to exist.

I might bid on his Godlike Genius award, though it's (I'd suggest) a pretty low estimate in the catalogue.

Always amazes me that bbc always speak very highly of him despite him being an unapologetic paedophile.

His taste in underage girls and his taste in music aren’t linked but still, no one seems to mind about that.
