this is way cool - the John Peel Archive

I don't know if this was already posted but had to share

"An attempt is underway to transport John Peel's own personal record collection into the digital age . . . collection includes over 66,000 LPs, singles, and those weird in-between formats like the 10-inch EP - and that's not even counting thousands of CDs"

"The archive includes a browsable - and playable - version of his record collection"

"So far, the project includes a virtual museum of Peel's office, with an interactive view of select records. You can browse the LPs as if they were on an actual shelf. See an interesting title? Pull it out and view the album art from Peel's exact copy; the intricate liner notes where Peel marked songs with asterisks, and his hand-typed index cards cataloging each record."
