Browse John Peel's Record Shelf!
I saw with mixed feelings that John Peel’s record collection is up for inspection by his adoring fans. The great DJ, whose Radio 1 show brought the most unearthly sounds to our ears, left a massive trove: 26,000 albums, 40,000 singles and tons of CDs, stashed in every room of his house except the kitchen and bedroom, the albums scrupulously filed in a cabinet.

Carrie Manolakos performing Radiohead’s “Creep”
Manolakos is best known, perhaps, for her earnest portrayal of Sophie Sheridan in Broadway’s Mamma Mia!, as well as Elphaba, the green witch, in the second national tour of Wicked.
She has a debut album, “Echo”, available for download at her site.
