Just Added: Prince – Nothing Compares 2 U

B0nesmFascinating to hear Prince’s original studio recording of Nothing Compares 2 U (of course a huge hit for Sinead O’Connor a few years later). Its just been released by his estate. We’ll give it a spin after 4 – listen on @tunein https://goo.gl/VL6m3N

Now Playing: Public Image Ltd – Rise

Music journalists love a genre label – Public Image Ltd is categorised as ‘post punk’ although it was a creation of one of the main exponents of punk – John Lydon/Johnny Rotten of the Sex Pistols. Formed in 1978, Rise was released some years later in 1986 on the album conveniently named Album.

A few years ago he talked about how he wrote the song about Nelson Mandela and apartheid. Go Johnny!

Like A Prayer

29 years ago today Madonna’s legendary single (and seventh US no. 1) was released. Still sounds just as fantastic today.
