I was a bit startled to hear Orgasm Addict by Buzzcocks on Radio Four the other day, in a discussion of the exhibition by the artist Linder. It reminded me of this interview I taped with Pete Shelley and Steve Diggle on Christopher John’s Cruisin’ programme on Radio Forth in 1979. The audio is poor - it’s been rescued from an old reel-to-reel - but I think you get a good sense of what Pete Shelley was about, and the weirdness of local DJs.
