RADIO BROADCAST #810
10–12–24
Fanatic! I hope you’re having a great October wherever you are. I’ve been getting in some good listening. I don’t think we’ve discussed this before but I’d like to recommend a reissue of an old record. It took me a few years but I finally got the remastered version of Pink Flag by Wire. The band has their own label called Pink Flag and sell it on their site. https://pinkflag.greedbag.com/buy/pink-flag-8/ but you might be able to find it elsewhere and not get beaten up by the postage. I found my copy at Amoeba in Los Angeles. The sharpness, clarity and punch of the remaster is not subtle. If you like this record it’s totally worth it.
Here are some of the records I’ve been listening to this month.

Fanatic, you can take the briefest of glances below and see there’s a bit of a concept happening in our first hour. So many songs by the Damned you might not find it to be an inconvenience but you might be curious as to what the occasion is. How about this: it's Dave Vanian’s birthday! What we’ve tried to do is make it interesting by using demo versions and tracks taken from the Damned’s BBC sessions over the years as much as we could so that perhaps the songs might be familiar but not the exact versions you know so well. Happy birthday, DV!
In our second hour, we hope to bring you a great fall weather mix tape.
We hope you’re having a great October. We’re almost done with next week’s show. Until then, rock the jam session and STAY FANATIC!!!
