This is a look at the immersion of Julia Callan-Thompson (Stewart Home’s mother) in the beat and hippie drug subcultures of the sixties and seventies, which gives you the true life story that Home has thinly fictionalised in his new novel Tainted Love (Virgin £7.99). Thrill again to folk tunes and hippie freakouts of yesteryear including Notting Hill Gate by Quintessence, Can’t Keep From Crying by Davy Graham, Needle Of Death by Bert Jansch, Out Demons Out by Edgar Broughton Band and Tainted Love by Gloria Jones (okay, so that’s a stone to the bone soul classic, but did you really expect Home to use the Soft Cell cover?).
Let your backbone slip and your jaw drop in amazement as Home resists the almost crushing urge to include in this programme Yellow Cave Woman by Velvett Fogg (ensuring Resonance will have to give him another show if enough of you demand to hear that super rare psyche/prog crossover by a band whose first and only album featured perhaps the most atrocious example of nude body painting ever). Tainted Love for Resonance is the audio event of the century. A must for all discerning pop pickers, nose pickers, mods, beats, middle-aged punk rockers, ravers, skinheads, hippies, rastas, goths, sickos and just plain characters.
You may have seen it all before, but make sure you catch this because in our post-modern world hearing is believing! And BTW: if you wanna know if Stewart Home is really the secret love child of John F. Kennedy, this show will raise more questions than it answers.
