Episode 9: Where’s My Playtex?
It’s 1988. Billy, Wiggy, and the Red Stars tour extensively, and work with Natalie Merchant in the States. Billy and Cara Tivey record She’s Leaving Home for charity, but after the record goes to number one in the UK (with the help of a double A-side from pop act Wet Wet Wet), a hastily-arranged Top of the Pops television performance goes awry thanks to a ladder and special BBC ‘heavy’ dry ice.
The songs on these podcasts feature on the fabulous Billy Bragg Volume 2 boxed set, available from the Billy Bragg Shop here.
(Volume 2 NTSC version suitable for North America and Japan, etc is here).

Hi Billy,
I’d like to download Ep9 of the podcast, but the link seems to be for Ep10.
Am I missing something?
