With Matt Johnson of The The
Tom chats to Matt Johnson of The The about the band's 1983 debut album Soul Mining.
Tom chats to Matt Johnson of The The to talk about their 1983 debut album Soul Mining, which has just been re-issued. Matt is the now the only member and has been the only constant member since the group formed.
The album only reached number 27 in the chart, but has since become regarded as a classic of its time. It features New York Dolls singer David Johansen playing harmonica and most famously a lengthy piano solo outro by Jools Holland on the track Uncertain Smile. The track originally had a saxophone solo but was re-recorded with the piano solo.
Huw Stephens from Radio 1 shares his personal tip from Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Introducing, as does one of the Introducing shows from around the UK.
At 11 o'clock Tom launches The After Hour, where he dusts off tracks from the outer reaches of his record collection.
