We're going back 25 years for this XS Long Player to celebrate the anniversary of a MASSIVE album from 1996... "Ugly Beautiful" from Babybird.
For this episode, Jim Salveson talks to frontman Stephen Jones about his memories of making the album, going from signing on to superstardom in a few months because of the phenomenal success of the album and his relationship with what he calls "Marmite song" 'You're Gorgeous.
If you need a reminder of this brilliant and eclectic album then you can listen to the whole thing on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/1jDQR7dZB0TrGIZJ4vcrLb?si=HQ9sc_fQQ7SKa53tpwEm6A
The XS Long player Podcast is taken from the XS Long player radio show on XS Manchester: A classic album played in full (some) Thursday nights at 8pm (GMT) listen live via www.xsmanchester.co.uk - where Jim also hosts the XS Evening Show.
