About this episode
Paul Weller has just covered it on his new album. Morrissey played it to Noel Gallagher who took the idea and ran with it. What explains the enduring appeal of a record that stalled at number 22 all those years ago? Actor/musician Brian Protheroe doesn’t know but he’s certainly grateful that it’s being reissued once again. His story takes us back to: …the days when young musicians hitch-hiked to London …the way the sun shone on the day “Sgt Pepper” came out …when Soho was a village and an out of work actor could afford to live in Covent Garden …when being dumped by a girl could inspire that actor to diarise his daily routine …when the jazzman who played the solo on the record couldn’t remember it for “TOTP” …how it feels to take your grandson to Abbey Road to watch your album being remastered.
