1984 is the focus of my Luxury Soul show today on Solar from 3pm. Three hours of music in this, the 40th Anniversary year with classic artists and connoisseur cuts. 1984 was a hybrid year for our music before it went near fully electric in the mainstream. There were a lot of big releases this year, but today’s show is more the quality album cuts I was playing at the time, not the wedding disco hits, so more memories of the classier soul of the day.

The Expansion reissue of this 1974 gem will be around from towards the end of next week. By the way, the BBC filmed this record on press last Thursday. It’s currently cooling off!.
