^Yes I did miss it actually. There's a tweet here in case any non-twitterers can't see it on their phones. The tweet links to THIS. I've had a quick skip through and the track list doesn't seem to be 100% correct. You may have to listen yourself in order to spot the discrepancies. I would suggest that there's almost too much NO/JD (!). Some more of Bernard's choices, and less of his tunes might have been more interesting to those of us already congnisant of Mr Sumner's work. He does plenty of talking, which I imagine some of you will want to hear anyway.

*EDIT*. Ah, just realised this is originally from 2010...

Thanks for this.

Just downloaded and saved to my hard-drive. Will have a listen later.

Think i was aware of this when it was first on a few years ago but didn't hear it as it had expired on the iPlayer radio by the time i got round to it so will try download it this time before it expires again.Yeah i think some of the tracklists for that First Time With series aren't always correct.There was one or two i've listened to after seeing the tracklist and they too weren't entirely correct.

Gave it a listen.Yeah it seemed mostly the JD/NO storY yet again.Only really the first section Bernard talks about records that aren't JD or NO.Though the part where Bernard talks about Ian Curtis was possibly the only time i've ever heard him really struggle in talking about it.I mean, it can never be easy talking about it but it's the first time i've ever heard in interview Bernard really struggling with it.He became almost unable to talk and there was a pretty heavy pause and some deep breaths.He also talked a bit about the first "split" after 1993 and the fall out with Hooky after WFTSC.

Is it worth starting a separate thread for this? Probably not. From 2003 this time, Radcliffe tells the story...
