    We tell you that we’ll have something different every week, and this was one of them 🙂  A fascinating delve into a corner of the music business that is sometimes belittled but was and still is hugely successful commercially.  Tracks from Britain, the US and Germany covered a wide range of styles but still leaving many untouched.  Up to 21 listener connections too, which was gratifying.
