Our guests tonight, making a welcome return to our little programme, are the Pirates, whereas among the records, a selection by Television, Leo Kottke, David Bell, David Bowie, Delbert McClinton (who's represented twice), Eater, and there'll also be four tracks from one of my heroes who is shortly to return to the glamorous world of rock'a'business after several years of driving a truck in a thoroughly spiritual manner. First up though, the début single from the Clash.')
