Rockabilly DJ

A return to what we laughably call 'normality' with an unthemed jumble of jumpin' tunes.

Bopping beauties from The Killer, Wayne McGinnis, Willie Lewis, Ronnie D, Jodimars, David Ray, Johnny Jano, Roxie Williams, Johnny Horton, Max Lowe, Buddy Holly, Ralph, High Noon, Tommy Jim Beam, Ben Hewitt, Joe Taylor, Billy Fury, Johnny & Thunderbirds, Ronnie Dawson, Tommy Smith, Daniel James, and Bobby Hankins.

A very "special" episode this week. You are unlikely to hear any of these unique recordings anywhere else. Some spectaculary different talents on display as we spin a stack of truly jaw-dropping records. Prepare yourself to be stunned, because this is "music" like you never heard before.

We seem to be running out of names for the spin ups, this one is a bit too Collector recordesque for my liking. But the mundane title disguises a belter of a show, with oodles of hard rocking boppers.

In a horrific genetic experiment that defies God and is against nature, this week G Minus Mark and Bill Smoker swap (step-sister) podcasts. Expect delirium, disorientation, liquefying of internal organs and long, rambling monologues. Oh, and some butt-kickin' 'billy along the way.

If you want to hear Bill's usual cockney sparrow impersonation, or more of G Minus Mark's excellent shows, pop over to http://gminusmark.podomatic.com where the abandoned radio station is open for business.

Used cardboard disc mailers are piling up high in the World Famous Studio once again. This can only mean one thing - time for another Postman show! As always, oodles of Rocking music on 100% all original vinyl 45rpm 7" records.
