Cover of Radio Stars tune by Swedish band Scratch

And it also features the groovy Sviidish girlband Baskery on bvs. Quick, nurse, pass the electroencephalograph. But it is on MySpace, so you'll need to have half an hour to spare before it even loads into your browser.

Chris Townson/Andy Ellison interviews

Our heroes are featured in the forthcoming book 'Wired Up! Glam, Post-Punk & Bubblegum European Picture Sleeves 1970-1976'. With a nice snappy title like that, they need all the support you can give them. Chris talks (well, 'talked', I suppose, to be accurate, but we like to present-tense everything around here, much more snappy and compelling) to Phil King about John's Children, Jook, Sparks and Jet, Andy talks about JC, Jet and Radio Stars - excerpts here. And more to follow...
