In this week’s thrilling episode we paid tribute to Adrian Sherwood’s On-U Sound records, arguably the most consistently brilliant British record label of the last thirty years and the reason I had to get a weekend job in the roughest pub in Ponty when I was 17 so that I could afford to buy pretty much every single one of their releases that Crash records stocked.

Adrian, if you’re reading this I got a fruit machine thrown at me in 1988 for you – and it was worth it (although I may not be saying that if it’d hit me).
