keeping the 1982 vibe going with this edition of the Record Mirror Disco Charts podcast featuring a very engaging guest, none other than Arthur Baker. very fun and very interesting, lots of familiar names from the poll pass by: open.spotify.com/episode/3WmS...

Arthur turned out to be a top bloke: good-natured, knowledgeable, forthcoming, and greatly amused by some of James’ more withering reviews.

Tenor Saw: Ring The Alarm, Papa Levi: Mi God Mi King, Naturalites & Realistics: Picture On My Wall, Frankie Paul: War Is In The Dance & Pass The Tu Sheng Peng, Saint/Eastwood: Another One Bites, Shirley James/Danny Ray: Why Don’t You Spend, One Blood: Get In Touch With Me, various Eek-A-Mouse.

There was a cola in the 1970s called Zing, which my sister and I both loved.

…and now I’m reading your book: wow, stories for days!
