Synopsis

This is THE Ken Bruce show. Accept no substitute. This morning Ken has the World Exclusive - you won't hear it anywhere else on the globe before we play it to you - of the new single from Spandau Ballet. Another two valiant competitors slug it out on PopMaster. Plus we play you a love song at 10:15, play some more music and hear the last two choices from Graham Coxon in Tracks Of My Years after 11:30. Today he plumps for Maxine Brown and the Zombies. As if that wasn't enough, you can also hear the final spin of Nerina Pallot's 'Real Late Starter' as Record Of The Week and the final hand-picked selection from the Album Of The Week, 'Do You Want The Truth Or Something Beautiful?' by Paloma Faith.
