Smash Hits - 9-22 December 1982 with Helen O'Hara (Dexys)
Description
Welcome back to The Giddy Carousel of Pop, a podcast about the Britain's brightest pop mag, Smash Hits.
In this episode we are joined by musician Helen O'Hara (Dexys, Tanita Tikaram, Tim Burgess) for a spin back to December 1982, when Helen, as part of Dexys, was literally riding high on the giddy carousel of pop (sometimes a little too giddy).
Artists discussed include Dexy's Midnight Runners, Yazoo, Abba, Whitesnake, Shalamar, Julian Cope and many more.
Former Smash Hits editor Mark Ellen also jumps on for a quick ride to tell us about the making of the legendary Smash Hits Christmas flex-disc.
Read along with us.
