Surgery 293

Sunday May 14, 2023
A few weeks back I received a lovely care package. A nice bundle of compact discs from the Ba Da Bing label. I was familiar with around half the artists and charmed by all of them. As a thank you I decided to present a special show featuring tracks from the bundle plus a few selections from the early days of the label that also just happened to already be in my collection. Now if any of you label folk are reading and think... maybe I can bribe my way into a special feature show... you're probably right. Enjoy
