The Twilight Turntable episodes

  • Slade in Flame

    Slade - the biggest-selling singles act of the '70s in the UK - were also film stars. What will Paul make of this sound track album? How did the band's quest to conquer the USA turn out? And what's Tone's celebrity connection this time?

    Please try listening to find out.

    1 hr 9 min
  • Come Find Yourself

    Tone brings his showbiz friends - charming New York gangsters Fun Lovin' Criminals - to the Turntable. It's a tale of DATs, gats and hats.

    Stick 'em up, punks, and...please try listening.

    1 hr 8 min
  • Surrealistic Pillow

    Tone slips Jefferson Airplane's psychedelic classic onto the Turntable. And although Paul "wasn't there in '67, man", he willingly dives down the rabbit hole.

    Turn on, tune in and...please try listening.

    59 min
  • I Remember Yesterday

    Disco didn't suck. And the Turntable welcomed its first guest to prove it. Paul Burke was THERE (by which we mean Wembley Market). Tone and (regular) Paul were giddy with excitement.

  • Different Light

    The Peterson sisters, Steele and Hoffs grace the Turntable. Tone relives his mid-80s discovery of The Bangles and Paul learns there was much more to their music than the singles. But did the band's peak coincide with the beginning of the end?

  • Excitable Boy

    If tales of werewolves, firearms and psychopaths are your thing, this might be right up your alley. Tone brings Warren Zevon to the Turntable. Will Paul be an excitable boy?

    1 hr 3 min
  • Paranoid

    Rock on! Tone brings Birmingham's favourite metal sons to the Turntable. Will Paul be spooked, thrilled, delighted or busy thinking about Spinal Tap.

    Please try listening (and turn it up to 11).

  • Into The Gap

    The coolest band in town circa 1984 or as 80s as Carol Decker holding a Rubik's cube? Tone brings Thompson Twins to the Turntable and explains his long-held theory as to why they were denied a Number 1 single.

    Please try listening.

    1 hr
  • The Sin of Pride

    "One of the great lost albums," says Tone. Does Paul agree? Were The Undertones victims of circumstance and an unwillingness to write what the fans wanted? And does the music stand the test of time?

    As ever, for the answers to some, all or none of these questions...please try listening.

    56 min
  • OK Computer

    The Turntable flips on its head as Paul asks Tony to consider Radiohead's seminal 1997 album.

    Prepare for angst, turmoil and profound emotional upheaval. And that's just Tony.
