About this episode
Will Smith did something at the Academy Awards which showed what he cared about most - did you notice it too? Our blow-by-blow account of the moment everyone missed.
* Plus … a man who has 25 Big Country albums (and other unlikey acts whose records we obsessively collect).

* The enduring joy of Joe Jackson’s Look Sharp! and Night And Day.
* And the kind of thing they let you put on an album cover 50 years ago.
