Sad and happy news reached the Moonbase this week as we learned on the one hand of the imminent demise of Ceefax (boo!) after 38 years of service but on the other, the joyous news that the ZX Spectrum has reached its 30th anniversary. Good on you, Sir Clive! We thought it therefore only fitting that we mark both of these auspicious moments in the history of technology by playing a selection of tunes which have a connection to one of these two hot topics.
We also have a track from the brand new album by Bertrand Burgalat and a truly bizarre Swiss treatment of show favourite, Caravan.
