Sweet Little Lisa by Dave Edmunds & Rockpile feat. Albert Lee - Ropey video but dazzling stuff from Albert (before his hair turned white). After making this, Dave Edmunds decided to drop playing it in his set and leave it for Albert to do."
"Greetings from Swanton Morley. This week, for a change, I thought I'd select 3 bits of British pop Reggae. I appreciate that John has chosen the Jamaican original of choice number one in the past, but it gives me the opportunity to indulge in a terrible play on words..."

Don't Turn Around by Aswad - "Anyone else remember 'The Double Deckers'?"
