On the show, there’s a proper exclusive from deep inside the vaults as well as eyewitness reportage from Rough Trade East, and a doffing of the pointy wizards’ hats to the recently departed.

Kicker’s Questions were:
a) Bruce Springsteen has been quoted as saying “If Elvis came back from the dead, he’d sound like this” about which song released in 1977? [The actual wording on the show may have suggested Bruce was a bit quick off the mark with The King only just gone. TTW would like to reiterate that this was not the case.]
b) Only 2 songs appeared in John Peel’s Festive Fifty performed by 2 different artists. One was Shipbuilding – both the Elvis Costello and Robert Wyatt versions – but what was the other song and who performed it?
