Mick and the PhatMan Talking Music
Join Mick and Jeff as they talk about artists, albums and music genres with passion that comes from personal connection. They’ve seen artists in concert at venues that don’t even exist today, bought albums when they were released on vinyl and, in some cases, met the artists.
Sometimes they love the artist or music they're talking about. Sometimes they don’t. But, without fail, you'll always hear something you didn’t know.

The album cover - something we miss with downloads
Before streaming, one of the great pleasures of rock music was looking at the record cover. The record cover was often an artistic statement by itself, sometimes featuring award-winning art, great photographs and creating an image for the artist.
Mick and The Phatman talk through some highlights of that era and ask, "What's your favourite record cover?"
