There are further album anniversary tracks from Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, and Janet Jackson too!

Also on the show ... long-running feature ‘The Chain’ which gives listeners the chance to pick a track that links in some way to the last. The list now contains over 8700 songs. There’s also the chance to take part in ‘Tea Time Theme Time’, guessing the link between three top tunes.
