John Peel’s Personal Record Collection is Being Digitized

“The project (containing over 26,000 LPs, 40,000 singles and many thousands of CDs) will release the names and song titles of 100 records a week from the collection, for 26 weeks between May- Oct, featuring the first records from one letter of the alphabet each week. People will be able to listen online to many of these records via links compiled by the project.”
