Johnnie and David Hepworth look at two new wave artists at the height of their notoriety, from the UK and from the US, who still enjoy success on both sides of the Atlantic.
With the help of archive Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ interview clips from Blondie's Deborah Harry, Chris Stein, producer Mike Chapman, Elvis Costello, Attractions Bruce Thomas and Pete Thomas and producer Nick Lowe, they discuss Parallel Lines and This Year's Model from 1978.
David remembers his early job driving Elvis Costello around radio stations and fast moving gigs and hanging around the extraordinary team who ran Stiff and the early new wave record labels.
