In this special programme, label head-honcho Adrian Sherwood talks to Andrew Weatherall about the music that has influenced his career. The pair dig deep in to their record collections to bring a selection of classic releases, rarities and exclusive material from Adrian's new album, which is coming out at the end of the month.
