7 - Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols (1977)

15 - Live 1975-85 (1986) Part 3: This One's For Friendship

This time, James and Kit return to Springsteen country for the final disk in Live 75 - 85. Expect more Born In The USA discussion, Kit low-key losing his mind over the acoustic version of No Surrender, and a meditation on (im)mortality prompted by Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out. It's an epic end to an epic box set. Enjoy. We did :)

14 - Live 1975-85 (1986) Part 2: This Land...

Part 2 of our epic journey through what might have been the last call for the E-Street Band.

13 - Live 1975-85 (1986) Part 1: With Andrew Matey

Returning hero Andrew Matey joins your aul' muckers Kit 'n' James to tackle the first part of the huge (three CDs. Ten sides of vinyl. God only know how many 8 Tracks) boxset that's part greatest hits and part maniacal, spontaneous reinvention of a back catalogue that was already brimming with what Rolling Stone hailed as enjoying "an embarrassment of riches." The New York Times described this album was "an unprecedented event in popular recording" and "monumental." Drain Cover Spotters Monthly said "...[it's] not really in our remit, can you please stop calling us?" Find out what we thought by listening now.

8 - Bat Out of Hell (1977)

In the show's exciting, second* rubber burning departure from Bruce, your pals Kit 'n' James take your exploding heart to the heights that you dare not endure! Meatloaf and Jim Steinman and quite a few E Street Band refugees blast it all up in limitless, deathless teenaged rock 'n' roll. *(or was it the first? Getting the back catalogue onto Libsyn like this feels a mixture of David Tennant, wearing spectacles he does not need, saying "timey-wimey" and a challenging non-linear post-modern novel.)

7 - Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols (1977)

In their first non-Springsteen epsiode, James and Kit take a diversion to the miserable hellscape of 1977's UK, and the sonic dirty bomb that is Never Mind The Bollocks, Here's The Sex Pistols. Expect exuberance, love, a deep dive into the nature and power and limitations of offensive art, and more swearing than normal, as befits the source material. Enjoy or die, as Johnny Rotten might have said before becoming a MAGA fuckhead.
