Spin Off 1982-11-02 Lee Perry meets Mississippi Blues (Steve Barker, BBC Radio Lancashire)





Spin Off 1982-11-02 Lee Perry meets Mississippi Blues (Steve Barker, BBC Radio Blackburn/Lancashire).

Another rare recording of Spin Off from BBC Radio Blackburn (later BBC Radio Lancashire), presented by Steve Barker.

This show is a special featuring Lee Perry productions and some prime blues including: Bucka White, Sleepy John Estes, Robert Johnson, Blind Willie Johnson, Furry Lewis, Mississippi John Hurt.

Also a competition to win two new albums from Adrian Sherwood's On-U Sound label, African Head Charge's "Environmental Studies", and Noah House Of Dread's "Earth". In fact the latter was released under the title "Heart", so this likely reflects a change in the title before release.
