I hate pre-recording programmes.

Doing it live is what it's all about, to me. When you record something, instinct and intuition evaporate like Blue Stratos on a griddle pan (I'm going to walk Masterchef, I tell you).

But I did record this week's show because I had been invited to DJ at a sold-out Frank Turner gig, which gave me the opportunity to play Mclusky/Y Niwl/Strange News From Another Star & Saturdays Kids at ear-splitting volume... so, still evangelising Welsh music, just in the flesh and with more Guinness to hand.

But this pre-record broke the mould.

It went well.

I thoroughly enjoyed it and I believe that you may too. Which is the point, you know.

So I made it especially extra special just for you.

Rather than hoodwink you with a faux-live experience - a rickety, patched-up cousin of the usual broadcast - I decided to do something a little different. So, this week's programme is dedicated to Welsh music on vinyl. In short, I have become something of a vinyl convert after a long existence of not really giving a stuff which format my music was delivered on.

Mostly this is because it's great to have something tangible in this dimensionless digital age. But it's also to mark the fact that there is a very definite renaissance in vinyl pressing amongst new artists. I'd hypothesise that this is because artists/independent labels understand - implicitly - that those of us who love music love it even more when it isn't just a series of 0s and 1s locked away on a hard drive.

And, in our house, the amply scattered platters give the cat something to sit on other than the carpet.

Cats are weird.

My Damascan vinylish revelation is detailed in (much more) depth in my Vinyl Worship article.

It's highly recommended if you're so bored giving your eyeballs a random dance across the screen counts as some sort of entertainment.

Ben Hayes - aka the vinyl extremist who converted me - comes in to play a beautiful beautiful piece of music from Endaf Emlyn.

And I juggle 7"s, 10"s, 12"s in a way that would have Frankie Howerd "Ooh er missus"-ing himself to the point of hyperventilation. There is old Welsh music on vinyl, new Welsh music on vinyl, covering a range of sounds & genres. And I pontificate, including a few world class Partridgisms.

This week's show will be back to 'normal'. Please bung me new music on any format you like to the postal address below/via the BBC Introducing Uploader or to themysterytour@gmail.com.

Have an excellent, music-filled week.

Or an excellent music-filled week.
