The RBP Podcast
Inthe new episode of our podcast, the legendary Paul Morley joins us to talk about his native Manchester, Joy Division and his epic new biography of Factory Records founder Tony Wilson.
Paul recounts his early pop epiphanies and discovery of the UK’s music press, culminating in the one & only issue of his 1976 fanzine Out There — not to mention his first reviews for the NME in 1976. The conversation then turns to “Anthony H.” Wilson and the formation of Factory, taking in Paul’s championing of Joy Division before leading into a discussion of Martin Aston’s 1986 audio interview with New Order’s Bernard Sumner and Stephen Morris.
From there we consider the week’s featured act Faust, spinning off from pieces about the German enigmas by Ian MacDonald, Andy Gill and David Stubbs, and prompting general thoughts on “Krautrock” from both guest and hosts. After saying goodbye to chief Chieftain Paddy Moloney, and to three veteran RBP writers on soul and R&B (Pete Grendysa, Bob Fisher andRoger St. Pierre), Mark leads us through his personal favourites among the 100+ articles added to the RBP library over the past fortnight, including pieces about the Stones’ pad in Edith Grove, Lorraine Ellison’s volcanic single ‘Stay With Me’ and Charlie Watts on drummers & drumming. Finally, Jasper talks us out with his thoughts on pieces about Primal Scream’s 2000 XTRMNTR and John Sinclair taking The Wire’s “Invisible Jukebox” text in 2003.

New on RBP
It’s a Manchester special this week – with a bit of Krautrock and Celtic tradition added for good measure. To celebrate the imminent publication of his epic Tony Wilson biography From Manchester With Love, we’ve made Paul Morleywriter of the week and made three of his classic NME pieces free on the home page. All touch on the triumph and tragedy ofJoy Division…and the endurance ofNew Order, whose Bernard Sumner & Stephen Morris are (from 1986) the week’s featured audio interviewees.
The act featured in the Free On RBP section is the radical German kollectiv that was early ‘70s Faust. Interviews by Ian MacDonald (1973) and Andy Gill (1997) tell the wild and crazy story of Uwe Nettelbeck and friends, while Krautrock chronicler David Stubbs describes his teenage Faustian pact.
We’re saying goodbye to chief Chieftain and beloved Irish rover Paddy Moloney via interviews from 1998 and 2010, plus we’ve also lost three of RBP’s veteran specialists on rhythm 'n’ blues and soul: Bob Fisher,Pete Grendysa&Roger St. Pierre, pieces by all of whom we’re spotlighting on the home page.
RBP subscribers can enjoy almost 60 new additions to the library, including:
- Dusty Springfield getting personal with Penny Valentine in 1967;
- Rob Partridge visiting Atlantic’s London offices in 1974;
- Bill Holdship bidding farewell to Del Shannon after the latter’s 1990 suicide;
- Andrew Smith talking to techno magus the Aphex Twin in 1992;
- Former MC5 manager John SinclairtakingThe Wire’s invisible jukebox test;
- Kandia Crazy Horse questioning the New Afrophilia of Vampire Weekend et al.;
- andNick Cave bearing his soul to GQ’s Chris Heath in 2017.
If you could just see the beauty,
These things I could never describe,
These pleasures a wayward distraction,
This is my one lucky prize…

1972 COUNTDOWN… #60—#56
1972 COUNTDOWN… #60—#56
MANFRED MANN’S EARTH BAND — GLORIFIED MAGNIFIED
The 1972 debut album by Manfred Mann’s Earth Band was a kind of rock ’n’ roll stew, with a range of styles. Country rock, blues rock, a ballad or two, AOR… it’s fine, but lacked focus. So it’s great to report that the follow up found the quartet beginning to define their rock-with-progressive-keyboard-influences sound. Glorified Magnified still has…
Sad to hear of the death of electronic music pioneer Klaus Schulze, 4 August 1947 - 26 April 2022.
A prolific composer and champion of German electronic music for five decades, he will be missed.
