Past Vapour Trails

A view of a sky, criss-crossed by vapour trails.

I got asked if any of the Vapour Trails episodes I'd done in the past are still available, and to my surprise, I found most are. In fact, I think actually all of them are there apart from a special Stephen D Brooks and I did on Klaus Voormann in 2024, and the Manfred Mann special that we recorded early in 2024, but were unable for technical reasons to put out, so no-one got to hear it. 
This is the first one I did, 'I Bet You They Won't Play This Song On The Radio', where I look at songs and artists I think unjustly neglected. This one includes both Linus and Spy '51. 
After Neil Innes died at the end of 2019, Steve Brooks allowed me back to do a second show, to look at Innes' career.
COVID put a bit of a block on our plans, but in 2021 I was back with an epic track by track study of Revolver, where we just talk about how awesome it all is. 
Then at the end of 2021, we marked twenty years since the death of George Harrison with a special.
Finally in 2022 we did a two-part Beatles special, looking at some of the more obscure bits of Beatles and Beatles-related music. This is Part 1. And here is Part 2.
