PSA Radio 4 mastertapes

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b021mjc4/episodes/guide#b03j0l3j Four series of these that had completely passed me by until I stumbled upon the Boomtown Rats one today. Really interesting and, in part, a compelling argument for middle aged men to be in bands. They all seem to be still available to listen to including forum faves like Richard Thompson and Robbie Williams ( possibly).

PS I'm sure they will have been posted before.

That first Robbie Williams album is very good, largely due to Guy Chambers' input, IMHO.

Yes, they seem to be available in perpetuity in an In-Our-Time way.
First episode of the Wilko Johnson one:

Most of the way through the Richard Thompson ones. He gives good interview.

The Billy Bragg, Weller and Manics ones are very good indeed. (Talking the Taxman about Poetry,The Gift and The Holy Bible).

Got the Wilko one on now.

Pedals? Pedals? I'm a guitarist not a cyclist.

this was from the period he was still expecting to drop dead any moment as well.

He was on Radcliffe and Maconie yesterday afternoon. Fascinating listening - it's almost as though he is more pole-axed by being 'cured' than he was by his original terminal diagnosis....

  Is an amazing thought that everything we have uploaded or posted or said online, will exist in cyberspace, for the remainder of all time.


:-O :-O 



except for a couple of guitar pics I posted on the musicradar forums.

Yes, digital isn't as enduring as people think. I was looking at a couple of copies of the Gutenberg bible this evening, but just try to find something you posted on musicradar...
(You'll have no luck trying to find anything I posted there at least.)

ToneControl

I think they have added new ones on now
