i-D / Jah Wobble / Boy’s Own Ad
While on the subject of Boy’s Own and all things related here’s another piece from the same i-D as the Rocky and Diesel piece with Jah Wobble talking about hooking up with Weatherall for ‘Bomba’ and a nice ad from the Boy’s Own crew. Sample quote – ‘Ream Italian house music at it’s pumping best.’...
Sound On Sound / Hugo Nicolson / Recording Primal Scream’s ‘Screamadelica’
In all of this talk surrounding ‘Screamadelica’ it would be easy to forget the pivotal role (happy) Hugo Nicolson played in those recordings. Our Tim H found this piece from Sound On Sound in November 2000 with Nicolson discussing how they did it. Sounds like limited equipment and big ideas. Time to bring back the...

Here’s the Andrew Weatherall show that was on 6 Music on the weekend working through the music that inspired the Primal Scream album ‘Screamadelica’.

The Face / Europe / A Ravers Guide
In August ’90 The Face posted this piece on clubbing in Europe. It’s a great round-up of what was going on across Europe at the time and includes some great pictures from Ibiza 1990. Thanks to Matthew J.
050 / Producers Series #3 / Andrew Weatherall
Number three in our producers series focuses on some of the early work of Andrew Weatherall. There will be a further edition focusing on Weatherall’s early years at a later date as there is too much to cover in one sitting. So program three – it’s a mix of genres and noises blended together that...
Expletive Undeleted / Andrew Weatherall
Good interview from Expletive Undeleted with Andrew Weatherall discussing being narky in the early days, MP3s and the reforming of PiL. Refreshing to see something raw in this day and age. Nice work chaps. Thanks to Andy Crysell for the heads up.
Kiss 102 / Andrew Weatherall / 1996
Widening the net here at Test Pressing, I’ve dug out a tape (hence bad quality) of an old Andrew Weatherall guest appearance on Kiss 102 in Manchester from 1996. He is interviewed by a bit of a chump if truth be told, but through the hour or so plays some great records, talks a little...
