Martin Mills on BBC Radio 4's 'Zeitgeist'

Sorting through the hard drive I came across this short recording from BBC Radio 4's 'Zeitgeisters' series which focused on individuals that had had a profound influence on popular culture. The subject of this particular episode was Martin Mills as who you all know started (along with Nick Austin) a small independent record label by the name of Beggars Banquet. I just love it for the fact that it meant that The Lurkers got played on Radio 4. May be of interest to some of you:

No this gig has some significance for me. Not that I was there or anything like that. For a start I was 11 years of age and 5,500 miles distant from the gig. No, a version of this gig was to be the first vinyl bootleg I acquired. Entitled 'Transcript' it cost me £9 from 'Wax Factor' record shop in Brighton. £9 to me then was a Kings ransom! This is another version of the transcription disc broadcast on US radio back in the day.

Enjoy this slice of magic from Numan's first US tour.
