Welcome back to The Giddy Carousel of Pop!In this special episode, we are joined by some previous riders on the carousel to take a trip down rock’s lost highway and discuss Dexys Midnight Runners' misunderstood classic album, Don't Stand Me Down, on its 40th anniversary. We speak to former Smash Hits staffer and Dexys fan Chris Heath, who originally reviewed the album for Ver Hits inSeptember 1985. Dexys super fan, music critic and member of the legendary Chart Music podcast, Simon Price, to get the fans perspective on the album and also how its reputation has grown in the years since its release. And we're also honoured to welcome two members of Dexys Midnight Runners - Helen O'Hara and Kevin Adams (aka Billy) - to talk to us about their memories of making the album and what happened after its release.
