Joe Boyd on John Peel and Fairport a.o.

[Wimboy]

There's a great great video of Joe Boyd literally going through John Peel's record shelves and talking about The Fairport, Nick Drake and other bands and artists.

Make sure you have 27:07 to spare, because there's a big chance you want to watch this all the way through. Enjoy!

Really absorbing video. What a great collection of vinyl, I wonder what will happen to it. Somehow it needs to be as John assembled and treasured and not broken up and sold.

http://www.johnpeelarchive.com/# has links to Spotify etc. for some of the music.
I can not find any statement about what the family, assuming they still own it, want to do with the physical collection.
I expect many University Music departments would try to make room for it, were it offered to them.
