Get the 7" record out of the sleeve, or open up that thin jewel case you spent a fiver on for that one special tune you couldn't get off repeat.

Dave Hanratty and Sonic Architect Adam return to their respective microphones and welcome photographer extraordinaire Christian Tierney to revisit the best commercial introductions that an artist has given us.

Elsewhere on the NO ENCORE Patreon feed, you can find Adam's most recent Album Club episode on show faves Touché Amoré's album Stage Four from 2016, and coming this Monday you'll find Dave and Andy's Film Club return to discuss what some regard as an overlooked masterpiece, Babylon from 2022. Where will the two men sit on this particular spectrum? You'll have to sign up to find out.

Speaking of which, we now have annual Patreon memberships available! Sign up for the year and you'll get a whole month free, too. Anyway, more about this week's show, if you please...

ACT ONE (13:39): The Bono Box is open as he finally speaks about Israel, Lorde does some typical Lorde things, All-American Rejects receive a rejection of their own, a Bruce Springsteen cover band pay for the sins of their idol, Metallica (literally) save lives and Miley Cyrus is warned off recording a new album by... Harrison Ford? It's the news.

ACT TWO (1:02:00): Top 5 Debut Singles II
