A potential counter angle to ‘Guilty Pleasures’
I have been a fan of Easy Listening with no hint of guilt or shame since as far back as I can remember.
Herb Albert, The Carpenters sit next to Velvet Underground or Public Enemy in my collection.

As a bonus, there is some fine early Hi-Fi equipment lurking in the programme.
Put on that Smoking Jacket, don your Fez, pour a bowl of brandy - spark up the Montecristo and relax.

Bert Kaempfert or Fart?
Definitely for the faint-hearted, it can’t all be the fast lane…
