Chicago Blues historian Marty Weil discusses Howlin' Wolf

Dagger zine's Tim Hinely brings us Adolescents' self-titled debut record.

We discuss Syd Barrett's "The Madcap Laughs", a wonderfully inventive - though at times hard to listen to - document of a gentle artist whose recent ouster from soon-to-be-huge Pink Floyd loomed large.

Chicago's Mick Hans brings us the debut record by Derry lads The Undertones. Often referred to as the "Irish Ramones", their hyper charged tales of teenage angst and adolescent heartbreak caught the ear of legendary BBC Radio 1 DJ John Peel, who was an early champion of the band and famously dubbed "Teenage Kicks" his all-time favorite song! "A teenage dream's so hard to beat"
