What is bizarre about recorded music, from the beginning, is the way the track has no introduction, and no cheerio at the end. The radio DJ is one of those who provide these missing book-ends for the recorded music track.
We are so used to it, but sit down and play a track from one of your favourite CDs – a studio, not a live album. Music starts, singing starts, song eventually ends. How weird it sounds. How unnatural. How naked.
