Howdy folks. Finally, a normal show! Yes, we’re aware that we’re the ones that keep choosing daft themes. Please look past that. Also, is a show without a theme actually a theme? Who knows?So, the show. You know it’s a gem when there’s extensive homework notes to include for the Listen Again Crew. Honestly though, this stuff is great. You should check it out.Potentially back next week with a show. If there isn’t, we’ll upload something for you folks to keep you going until we return.As always, get in touch with requests, recommendations and guest mix inquiries!https://www.instagram.com/radionighttrain/https://bsky.app/profile/thenighttrain.co.ukDon’t forget, we’re also available for family functions, weddings, funerals, boat launches and more!SHOW NOTESFloating Points & Four Tet - Final Plastic People 2 1 2015Love Me Like You Should: The Brave and Bold Sylvester | Amazon MusicBBC World Service - The Documentary, Mighty Real: Sylvester JamesGlastonbury - Osees - BBC iPlayerLive at The Social volume 1 - mixed by The Chemical BrothersOpen Mike Eagle, “Neighborhood Gods Unlimited” | Bandcamp DailySpiritualized - Pure Phase Tour opening set musicRebel Radio: Gaps in the Dial podcast | BarbicanTRACKLISTINGSylvester - Over And OverKing Curtis - Night TrainMadmadmad - Mouse Rock ReworkSai Galaxy - All Day Cool (Feat.

#397 Small Records Vol. 7 - Global Sounds on 45s (13th Jul 2025)
OK. We forgot that this week was going to be 45s show. But, we had already done some prep to make it less painful!The plan for this show was “2 hours of songs from places that aren’t The UK or The USA”. That’s not a very catchy name so we’ve gone for “Global Sounds on 45s” which we can all agree is a MUCH better name.We were both going to be playing records but in the end, Steve made Paul do all the work on the decks while he did show admin. You’ll probably agree that this worked out well.Hopefully we will be back next week with a normal show.As always, get in touch with requests, recommendations and guest mix inquiries!https://www.instagram.com/radionighttrain/https://bsky.app/profile/thenighttrain.co.ukDon’t forget, we’re also available for family functions, weddings, funerals, boat launches and more!TRACKLISTINGLetta Mbulu – Mahlalela: 🇿🇦The Bacao Rhythm & Steel Band - Raise It Up: 🇩🇪Gitte & Inger – Ud Af Buret (Can't Hide Love): 🇩🇰Sola Rosa Featuring Iva Lamkum – Turn Around: 🇳🇿René Costy – Scrabble: 🇧🇪Flammer Dance Band – Holder Rytme: 🇳🇴Lefties Soul Connection – Organ Donor: 🇳🇱Souleance – Le Chemise: 🇫🇷Jambonne – Jambonne, Jam On: 🇳🇱Konkolo Orchestra – Blue G: 🇨🇭Pat Thomas & Marijata - Let's Think It Over: 🇬🇭Outfit - Theme From Peter Gunn: 🇧🇧Cocotones – Funky Nassau: 🇲🇬Manu Dibango – Soul Makossa: 🇨🇲La Plata Sextette - Mishugina Mambo: 🇵🇷La Pesada - Cumbia Y Tambo (Quantic Remix) (Instrumental): 🇨🇴Gay Philadelphians – Hot Pants Road: 🇹🇹Biddu And The Orchestra – Funky Tropical (UNKNOWN EDIT): 🇮🇳Afro-Train – Tumba Safari (Nik's Mukatsuku Edit): 🇨🇮Ndalani 77 Brothers – Nzaumi: 🇰🇪Oliveira Trio – The Worm: 🇵🇹Guy Du Rosier And His Orchestra - Anatole: 🇭🇹Orquesta Tropicana – Tequila: 🇸🇻Los Robins - Patricia: 🇭🇳Prez Prado - Patricia: 🇨🇺Mulatu Astatké - Yègellé Tezeta: 🇪🇹The Lijadu Sisters - Danger: 🇳🇬El Rego - Se Na Min: 🇧🇯Theo Bylhout - Get Down Cause Ain't Funky: 🇸🇷The Booma Rockers - Soul Food: 🇬🇾Les Ambassadeurs Du Motel De Bamako - Make It Funky: 🇲🇱Quakers Featuring Sampa The Great – Approach With Caution (Stalag Riddim Remix): 🇿🇲Mungo's Hi-Fi with Michael Prophet & Ricky Tuffy - Your Love: 🇯🇲Kalbata & Mixmonster – Prisoner In Love: 🇮🇱Roots Radics - Looking My Love (Version): 🇯🇲

#395 "What a G-double-O-D vibration" - A Tribute To Sly Stone (22nd June 2025)
Howdy folks. Here’s our tribute to Sly Stone, who passed away a couple of weeks ago. It’s a bit late but that’s due to reasons that are lost to the midsts of time/are too boring to bring up.We’ve picked some of the hits and some of the (many) songs that sampled him over the years. It’s made with love, despite how ramshackle and under-researched links are. We say in the show, if you wanna know more about the man, you should checkout Questlove’s doc, Sly Lives!As always, get in touch with requests, recommendations and guest mix inquiries!https://www.instagram.com/radionighttrain/https://bsky.app/profile/thenighttrain.co.ukDon’t forget, we’re also available for family functions, weddings, funerals, boat launches and more!SHOWNOTESBreezeblock - Beastie BoysSLY LIVES!

#394 "Shouldn't that song be longer?" (8th June 2025)
Sunday’s show, finally uploaded for your listening enjoyment. Fresh from our adventure in Chesterfield, 2 hours of pretty decent music. No theme this week. Just the two of us picking a bunch of songs from our “To Play” folder(s). The next show is a bit up in the air as we were tempted to make a Sly Stone Tribute Show but honestly, that just feels like a lot of hard work and we won’t be able to do it justice.As always, get in touch with requests, recommendations and guest mix inquiries!https://www.instagram.com/radionighttrain/https://bsky.app/profile/thenighttrain.co.ukDon’t forget, we’re also available for family functions, weddings, funerals, boat launches and more!SHOWNOTESSuspended in Air on lwstd.fmNick Waterhouse DJ Mix for Toronto Soul ClubLetta Mbulu’s In the Music...Purelink Make Ambient Music You Can Believe In | PitchforkTRACKLISTINGJ.V.C.
