Long before the album Nevermind took the world by storm in 1991, Patrick Campbell-Lyons and Greek Alex Spyropoulos were two immigrants who met in London during the summer of 1966. The pair dubbed themselves Nirvana and recorded consistently ambitious and high-minded music until 1971, amassing sessions with members of bands such as Spooky Tooth and Mott The Hoople as well as producers such as Tony Visconti (Thin Lizzy, David Bowie) and Chris Thomas (The Beatles, Pink Floyd). A new 12-disc box set celebrating the group, titled The Show Must Go On: The Complete Collection will arrive this fall. We’ll hear selections from some key moments in the duo’s career on this episode as well as selections from Fantastic Planet, the 1996 album from the band Failure.
