The Olivetti Chronicles Three Decades of Life and Music
John Peel, best known for his four decades of music-scene radio broadcasting, was all the while committing his laconic brilliance to paper in articles and reviews. Selections of these writings amount to a second autobiography. From the Hardcover edition.

Whether writing about The Osmonds, The Fall or shaving off his beard, this non-chronological collection of John Peel's writing is, after 'Margrave of the Marshes', another fine testament to his humour, integrity and honesty. Bite-sized snippets to remind us all of the Peel-shaped hole he has left in music and our lives.
