I've been doing a fair bit of reading on my Kindle during the lockdown, including a book by Guy Pratt and ones about Brian Eno and Chris Spedding. In the Spedding book Johnny Marr states that pre-punk Bill, Peter Townshend, Paul Kossof, Mick Ronson and Rory Gallagher were the players that he and his mates admired at the time.
What a lineup and Bill was right up there at the top ! The seventies were such a great time for hopeless guitar freaks. One of the very few reasons to be glad to be in my 60's.....

FM broadcast - fair/good quality, some tape wobble/hiss etc but still very enjoyable.
