Our occasional series of bloody good things builds into a random collection your whole family will enjoy.
This week, a whole hour of music and chat with your Uncle John, as recorded for in-store entertainment at Mr Branson's record shops 30 years ago this month.
This will certainly help your Friday poison-of-choice slip down and if you play it really loud tomorrow night you might even be able to drown out the incessant door knocking of those pesky trick or treating kids.

Love you man!. I was still a Police-head in '79, although my mum had a ban on Ska if memory serves me correctly (I was only 6).
