Pilot show: Tom Morton's Bought, Begged and Stolen

This is the one-hour (well, 50 minutes) pilot for my new show, set to replace the Beatcroft Social from mid-August. The idea is simply that all the music is played from physical media - mostly vinyl and CD, but with the occasional cassette, shellac disc and reel-to-reel. 

It's not about the 'analogue quality so much as the fact that I chose to own - to keep - these tracks. I haven't trawled the infinite internet for downloads or streams. As such there are a few technical hiccups and fumbles. Forgive me. See what you think anyway.
