Chart Music: the Top Of The Pops Podcast

#57 (Part 4): 11.10.1973 – A Balloon Full Of Gravy

Simon Price, Neil Kulkarni and Al Needham bring this Golden Age episode of the Pops home, as Slade finally – and fatally – learn to spell single titles correctly, Limmie and Family Cookin’ do something that isn’t You Can Do Magic, the Top Of The Pops Orchestra earn some beer money on the side, and we get treated to one of the greatest singles of the year – for 29 seconds or so, because they’ve overrun. Sigh. <a href="https://bit.ly/CM57vids" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Video Playlist </a>| <a href="http://chartmusic.libsyn.com/rss" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Subscribe</a> | <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ChartMusicPodcast/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/ChartMusicTOTP" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitter</a> | <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/17nHuE5PtP4OaYbq76yT0B00ZZ5hv3ismr-26idmmKo0/edit" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Chart Music Wiki</a> | <a href="https://www.patreon.com/chartmusic" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Patreon</a> Hosted on Acast.

The podcast that takes one random episode of Top Of The Pops - the greatest TV Pop show ever - and breaks it down to its very last compound. Created by Sarah Bee, Neil Kulkarni, Taylor Parkes, Simon Price and David Stubbs (who all wrote for Melody Maker) and hosted by Al Needham (who didn't), it's an unflinching gaze into the open wound of pop culture and a celebration of Thursday evenings past.
