Artists discuss the 13 records that shaped their lives

1. FlipronFancy Blues And Rustique Novelties

The first thing I should say is that it’s not necessarily in order of favouritism. It was purely just well, what can I put down, and then rifling through and changing my mind and then going on to something else. But Flipron are a band that when I had a recording studio they turned up and said something like we’ve got a hundred quid, how much time can we have. And I just really liked them and I really liked the songs that they’d got. So two years later they were in the studio and we became firm friends. I produced a couple of records for them as well. But it’s a funny thing because I prefer the stuff I wasn’t involved with, of which this album is one. My studio closed down and we all went off and did our own thing and then they turned up with their first two albums. And with this one I just really love the songs on it. Each one is kind of like a story.
