DJ and audiophile Colleen 鈥淐osmo鈥� Murphy is the latest guest to Peel Acres, helping Tom Ravenscroft make sense of his dad, John Peel鈥檚 legendary record collection. Originally from Massachusetts, Colleen started her radio career at just 14-years-old and is the founder of listening event, Classic Album Sundays.

Track 1: Life on Mars? - David Bowie (from Hunky Dory)
Colleen wastes no time in tracking down her favourite David Bowie album - with an original press release hidden in the sleeve. Bowie had been commissioned to write English lyrics to the French song Comme d鈥檋abitude - but his work was rejected and instead Paul Anka rewrote it to be鈥淢y Way. Annoyed at the success of Frank Sinatra鈥檚 version, Bowie wrote the parody Life on Mars? in response.

Track 2: Dove - Cymande (from Cymande)
Track 3: Bra - Cymande (from Cymande)
British funk band Cymande formed in 1971, releasing their debut self-titled album the following year. They were initially more successful in America, but found wider recognition in the following decades after being sampled by various artists, including De La Soul and Grandmaster Flash. Colleen remembers hearing both tracks at The Loft in New York; the invitation-only parties hosted by her friend David Mancuso.

Track 4: Soap Shop Rock - Amon D眉眉l II (from Yeti)
Colleen remembers playing krautrock pioneers Amon D眉眉l II on her psychedelic radio show in college. The band formed in the late 60s and take their name from the political art commune in Munich, where they met.

Track 5: Southern Man - Sylvester (from Sylvester and the Hot Band)
African-American falsetto singer (and flamboyant dresser) Sylvester is best know for his disco hits, including the UK Top 10, You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real). Southern Man, his debut single, is a funk cover of the Neil Young song, which carries an overt anti-racism message.

Track 6: Hot Hot Hot !!! (Extended Remix) - The Cure x Fran莽ois Kevorkian
Colleen is delighted to happen across this remix by her friend, DJ and producer Fran莽ois Kevokian in the 12鈥� singles shed. The Cure are often associated with gothic rock - but the band reject being categorised as one particular genre.

Track 7: Hit The North (Part 4) - The Fall x Zeus B. Held
Next she pulls out a white label 12鈥� by post punk outfit The Fall - who were famously known as John鈥檚 favourite band. This 1987 single - considered the band鈥檚 most musically conventional - was remixed by German producer Zeus B Held.

Track 8: I鈥檇 Rather Go Blind - Chicken Shack
This 7鈥� single from British blues band Chicken Shack, features the beautiful vocals of Christine Perfect - better known by her married name, McVie - and was released a year before she joined Fleetwood Mac. The song was first recorded by Etta James

Track 9: Anambra - Ozo
Colleen selects a fitting end the day; a track which would often be played at the end of a Loft party, to help party-goers re-entry the world. This is the debut release from fusion band Ozo, which appeared on their 1976 album Listen To The Buddha.
