When Big Joan Sets Up 18th July – “Grandmaster, Cut Faster”

This week’s programme featured a multitude of tracks from a man described as “The New God” in 2004 by the current holder of that title, the late great John Robert Parker Ravenscroft. Eight tracks in total from his new LP “Magical Sound Shower” in a row which meant acres of superlative tuneage and very little banal DJ banter from me.
