I wasn't going to do a playlist this week. Too much listening to Fad Gadget, Diesel Park West and Billy Childish adds up to a limited choice for a playlist, but what with Steve Coleman's 10/10/82 talk falling into my lap late last night, I thought I would conjure up a playlist from the charts from that particular week.

I can't say with any authority that SPGB members back in '82 were listening to the songs selected, but I know that I was.

If you fiddle about with the boombox at the top of the post, you can listen to them today. Cheers.

The Luke Haines and the Kristen Vigard tracks are both missing from the Spotify playlist. Click on the links above to find both tracks on YouTube. Both brilliant . . . but I would say that.
