It’s easy to think of the 1950s as the end of an era, with the newness of the 1960s just around the corner. All the records this week are shellac or 78s, a format that died in this decade. Despite this demise the 1950s was also a time for new music, fresh fashion, literary firsts, poignant artworks and exciting sporting debuts.

My first musical experiences came through hearing my parents’ record collection. So when I saw this album, Top Italian Hits, in a joblot, it immediately transported me back to my youth. It was one of my Mum’s favourite records. My brothers and I would play it regularly alongside a battered copy of Geoff Love’s Big Western Movie Themes.

How did we used to discover new music in the days before streaming and algorithms? It’s wonderful how I can access most of the seminal tunes of my teens and twenties. But this show spins some un-found gems, not on Spotify, as I remember some of the old ways of searching out music, in a homage to the UK 80s indie scene.
