I would like to apologize in advance for my utter failure to mount a proper tribute to The Jam’s Rick Buckler on very short notice. Upon hearing news of Rick’s passing, I’d planned on playing the widely discussed “fan club” aka boot of ‘In The City’ solely featuring Buckler’s isolated drum tracks (‘Mo Rick, Mo Problems’) but either it’s gone missing or this place is an absolute tip (most likely the latter). I’d mentioned this on air and someone kindly offered to bring round their copy of the isolated drum tracks from ‘Setting Sons’, which, y’know, in a pinch would have to do. As it turns out, however, this record was actually Bruce Foxton’s isolated bass tracks from ‘Setting Sons’ which would not be appropriate for this somber occasion.
So not for the first time, I am deeply, deeply sorry and hope you can enjoy this week’s program in spite of this. All I ask going forward is that we place the surviving members of The Merton Parkas in bubblewrap because it might take me months to find their records. Maybe there’s someone on TaskRabbit who can specialize.
