Rod Stewart’s Forgotten Masterpiece? | Griff’s Magic Theatre #17

Welcome to Episode 17 of Griff’s Magic Theatre – the all-vinyl time machine for music lovers who like it raw, real, and packed with gems. This week’s headliner? Rod Stewart, before the spotlight, fronting Python Lee Jackson on In A Broken Dream – a track that proves just how soul-shaking he could be in the early days. Is this his finest vocal ever? We think so. But that's just the start… Hear classics and curios from: *The Who – I’m A Boy *The Four Tops – double dose of Motown magic *Small Faces, The Pretty Things, The Rolling Stones – British music at its best *The Specials & Bodysnatchers – Ska beats and Rude Boys Plus psychedelic oddities, garage treasures, and a trip with Donovan you won’t forget... So grab a brew (or something stronger), sit back, and let Griff spin the wax that time forgot – but you’ll never want to. 👇 Drop a comment and tell us which track made your day.
