I’m finally wading through the John Peel tribute concerts the BBC did, and I just heard Benjamin Zephaniah’s piece “Wrong radio station” and it’s absolutely brilliant. A little digging suggests it hasn’t been released yet :-(. The way they announced it suggested that it will appear on the forthcoming album Naked, but the amazon.co.uk entry doesn’t list a track with that name, so I’m not sure.
If you want to hear it, it’s about 2 hours and 16 minutes into part 2 of the Keep It Peel show (counting the documentary as Part 1). I also found an I Reggae interview page with Real Audio versions of it that my computer won’t play :-(. You can also check out Zephaniah’s page which has some pretty cool stuff. (I really liked his letter explaining his reasons for not accepting an OBE – in the media section.)
