Special episode on the massively commercially successful David Bowie album Let's Dance, his first for EMI America, released 39 years ago - in April of 1983.
 
After signing a 17 million dollar contract, he chose a fresh new producer in Nile Rodgers, and history was made!

We talk about the importance of Let's Dance to the cultural moment, and prattle on about whether it's worth your time.  Guess what we say ?
