If we’re honest, these kind of shows are manna from heaven for us, as they represent a chance to have someone else make the selections and potentially switch us on to both classic tracks and artists we may have slept on. Bill brought that in droves, airing killer songs from artists we knew of whilst turning us onto the likes of Kevin Hewick, Magazine 60 and The Feelies, one of Stiff Records’ lesser-known signings who -- on the basis of the awesome track Bill aired -- are to be sought out immediately.

Or, as listener JedB put it in a mid-show message, “these track selections are even more eccentric than usual!”… which we’re taking to be a good thing!

Be sure to check out the treasure trove that is Bill’s djhistory.com website, and if you’ve not already we strongly recommend you buy his excellent work with DJHistory co-founder Frank Broughton, “Last Night A DJ Saved My Life”

Oh, and this was our featured video for this show -- Mark the 45 King rocking a pair of Vestax Handytrax turntables, which Bill told us about after I’d mentioned how I’d found that Utmost 45 at a fair thanks to me having the Handytrax with me…
