  • B-Sides - Sign O The Times

    Surprise! It's a bonus episode of The Long Play in your podcast feed.

    Welcome to the first in our new occasional series - B-Sides.

    The Long Play is all about filling in the gaps in our musical knowledge and exploring classic albums that we maybe missed the first time around.

    B-Sides is the opposite. It's about the albums that we know and love, our favourite music.

    This month, Paul is discussing his love of Prince and, in particular, the album Sign O The Times.

    We'll be back at the end of the month to discuss this month's album - Kid A.
