Crucial The Good, the Bad & the Queen
The Don's selections cross time, space and genre, and his Crucial Vinyl is the Good, the Bad & the Queen's self-titled debut album, released in 2007.
The Don's selections cross time, space and genre - mixing his favourite new music with classics from the UK, Europe, USA, Jamaica, Africa, Japan and way beyond.
Each week he also highlights a piece of Crucial Vinyl - a cherished album from his own collection. This time, it's The Good, the Bad & the Queen's self-titled debut album, released in 2007.
Don says, 'With Damon Albarn at the helm, this 'Dickensian' dub combo, featuring Afro Beat drummer Tony Allen and the Clash's Paul Simonon on bass, created an album shaped by London that really couldn't have been made anywhere else. It's the perfect soundtrack to the movie that is London - pure technicolor!'.
