Two Word Songs

Gideon plays records with just two words in the title - three hours of them, from The Temptations' Get Ready to Fats Domino's So Long.

Records with just two words in the title. Three hours of them. From Get Ready to So Long.
Following the resounding success of the three hour one word song experiment conducted under laboratory conditions on Boxing Day the Gideon Coe show returns to the theme with...two word song titles. Soundtrack the leftovers with a musical accompaniment that includes The Mothers Of Invention, Elvis Costello, Vic Godard, The Band & Aphex Twin alongside many, many more. Please note this show includes a unique, and quite probably never to be repeated in radio, segue of Yoko Ono & The Carpenters. Challenging but rewarding.
