[peel] Happy Otter Mixtapes

[Stuart Brooks]

Cheers Rob, funnily enough I came up with the Who Sampled site when I was searching for the Awesome Dre track but it wasn’t one of those suggested. I’ve messaged HO to see if he can remember any of them – it’s the only tape so far where the inlay was lost.

Hi Stuart


I just filled in a few of the unknowns on the wiki for this new Happy Otter mix (One Thousand Violins, Darling Buds and Awesome Dre)

http://peel.wikia.com/wiki/HO_John_Peel_9_1988_1989


Still quite a lot of unknowns, most of which sound like grunge imports, and one that I'm sure Rocker must know as it sounds like a Talulah Gosh/Shop Assistants/Flatmates girl-fronted band with the chorus that sounds like "We need to dance more" repeated several times



For the ID of the Awesome Dre track I used the brilliant whosampled.com site for clues if you've not seen it?

  Its detective time! I've managed to date some of the tracks but some of the first tapes aren't necessarily recorded in chronological order. But there are enough tracks for some dates in later tapes to justify a date page on the wiki.

    excellent work ... are they dated or are we going to be watching the detective?

    Keen wiki watchers and Facebook members of the John Peel Show Tapes group will already be aware of the Peel mixtapes from the late 1980s being shared by Youtube and Mixcloud user Happy Otter. I have his enthusiastic backing for tracklisting these mixtapes on the wiki, and have completed the first seven.

    These do not contain any links, and while the earliest tapes leave something to be desired in audio terms, they are still well worth a listen, and the sound improves markedly with later tapes.

    This is quite a fallow period and it is a while since anything has been shared from 1987 or 1988.
    Stuart
