Technicolour Dreaming

It’s been good to see that the vinyl 7”single is thriving again in the modern world and we featured quite a few on this week’s show, both old and new, though with a bias towards b-sides, plus a few ‘digital-only’ singles, such as the Vintage Cucumber song we finished with, which is only available as a bonus track with last year’s “Yoki Style” album. Also featured were EP tracks from the likes of Tasmania’s Violet Swells and Circassian from Athens, as well as some vinyl album tracks by 60’s L.A. band, the Leaves, and Italy’s Magic Cat, plus much more.....
