John Peel And Sheila: The Pig's Big 78s: A Beginner's Guide is a compilation consisting of music originally published on 78 rpm shellac records. British radio DJ John Peel and his wife Sheila Ravenscroft began compiling the record in 2004, with Sheila completing the project following Peel's death. The compilation was named after, and inspired by, a feature on Peel's BBC Radio show, in which Sheila would play 78 rpm records in between other tracks.

The compilation's contents vary "from English brass bands, schmaltzy dance music and yodelling, to early rock ‘n' roll and traditional music from China and Africa" according to the record company Trikont which published the disc in March 2006. The booklet also contains an interview with Sheila.
