I missed that damned Radio 2 show because my freaking up to date HDD recorder recorded straight to DVD for 2 hours but then corrupted the disc so I had absolutely nothing! This never used to happen when I recorded using a cassette deck from the radio!!
I am truly gutted and am pinning my hopes that this will be released sometime.

Keep up the good work!
just got this show on in the car and it’s excellent. Didn’t want cover versions for my children to hear this great record but oh, well. They were at least good ones. Your show remains excellent.
