Listen Later

**PART ONE**

It's better to travel to the kaleidoscope world of 1973 when you can breakout with great Third Lads. What, too subtle for ya?!? This week, we enter the twilight world of Swing Out Sister - Corinne Drewery and Andy Connell!

Along with discussing some of our favourite songs from 1973, we are are also celebrating the release of the new Cherry Red Records box set Certain Shades Of Limelight, a beautifully curated 8 CD box set covering the vibrant and soulful evolution of iconic British pop sophisticates Swing Out Sister. Spanning the years 1994 to 2004, the definitive collection captures a golden decade of musical exploration, refinement and reinvention. Included are the group's five albums released during that time period and three bonus discs packed with B-sides, 7" versions, rare mixes, instrumentals, alternate versions, soundtrack versions, and sought-after edits.


During part one of our conversation, Corinne and Andy give us the run down on the box set, plus...

  • What do George Michael, Elton John, and Andy's mum have in common?
  • Were Andy & Corinne the original Jay-Z & Beyonce?
  • Breaking into the marching band and Chicago stepping worlds!
  • What living soul icon did Uncle Gregg kill off?
  • Big bands...and bigger bands!
  • How did Corinne get her signature bob?
  • Why Swing Out Sister's cinematic music may not be soundtracking films anytime soon.
  • ...and our #5 & #4 picks for Songs of 1973.
  • Don't worry, we won't make you play the waiting game too long (last Swing Out Sister pun for now, we promise)...Part 2 drops on Thursday, July 17th!
