The Classic Albums



Every week we take a closer look at a truly classic album, playing it in its entirety (or at least as many tracks as we can fit into an hour) and in the correct running order.

We look at what makes the album so special, its enduring appeal and we take a look at some of the stories and myths behind the records that really matter.

Each week we will also have a little review of the record here online for Planet Rock VIPs where you can add your own thoughts.
