Weekend WhirliGIG – BBC Radio 1 – 1979

Posted on January 24, 2020 By Priptona No Comments on Weekend WhirliGIG – BBC Radio 1 – 1979

The return of the weekend whirligig sees us revisiting SM performing a set for BBC Radio One “in concert”.

Contains cracking versions of White Light/White Heat, original Kerr lyrics to Scar and a great Pleasantly Disturbed, marred only by having lines of my least favourite David Bowie song – the truly turgid Memory Of  A Free Festival – within it.
