Show Notes
In part 2 of our deep dive into his discography, we see just how far the sound of post-punk pioneer Martin Hannett could go.
It goes without saying that we get a generous helping of some more iconic Factory Records releases, but we also venture into the worlds of performance poetry, novelty, dance punk, and even the emerging Baggy sound.

In this episode we discuss John Cooper Clarke, Magazine, Orchestral Maneuvers in the Dark, Happy Mondays and much more.
