Exploring what makes a great rock album, Danny Baker celebrates the golden age of the analogue, vinyl LP with Jeremy Clarkson, Stephen Street and Kate Mossman.

Exploring the essential elements of a great rock album, Danny Baker celebrates the golden age of the analogue, vinyl LP with rock fan Jeremy Clarkson, the Smiths' producer Stephen Street and writer Kate Mossman. With a passionate, fan's-eye view, Baker and his guests select their favourite rock albums and discuss how the LPs of the 60s and 70s were produced - and enjoyed - in quite a different way to their modern equivalents.
