Paul and Tom bring you The Long Play. A podcast where we listen to one classic album a month, together.

AVAILABLE ON

The Long Play

One Classic Album

Every Month

We founded The Long Play on 3 principles:

⭐ Community - Music is better enjoyed together. We want to learn from each other and enjoy the journey together.

⭐ The Album - We believe in the album as the ultimate form of the art of music. We want to listen to albums as intended, straight through, no skipping.

⭐ Slow down - We called it The Long Play for a reason. We’ll listen to the album repeatedly over the course of a month. Take our time, and immerse ourselves in it.

THE LONG PLAY

It's like a Book Club but for Albums

There’s way too much great music that we’ve always wanted to listen to but have never quite made it happen. This is how we change that.

LISTEN

Episode 7 - Kid A out now wherever you get your pods (link in bio).

Featuring a special guest appearance from Flanagan - The Pod Dog (and evidently our producer) 🐶

First in our occasional bonus series - B-Sides.
This month I'm discussing my love of Prince and his album Sign O The Times.

My Mastermind subject would definitely be 'The life and work of Prince Rogers Nelson in the 80s' 😁

Episode 6 - Hounds of Love out now wherever you get your pods (link in bio).

Tom says that this is like the twin of Born to Run but at the opposite end of the spectrum and I think I agree.

Paul expresses a not entirely positive view?
Surely that's not right, everyone loves The Boss right? Right?

Oh look at us with our up-to-date music choices (ed - it's 10 years old).
Can such a recent album be considered a classic? (ed - again, it's 10 years old).
Another episode where Tom uses technical musical terms and Paul pretends to understand.

Episode 3 - If this isn't a classic I don't know what is?
Surely it's just a matter of choosing your favourite tracks?
Will Tom prefer Sir Duke to I Wish? Will Paul choose a less obvious track to try and appear cooler than Tom.
All these questions answered and more on this month's episode.

Solidly in Paul's wheelhouse, can he convince Tom that this is a stonewall classic? Only one way to find out...
Link in bio 😉

Updating Instagram with all our episodes.
First up, the OG. This is the one that Paul always used as an example when he was talking about why he wanted to listen to more classic albums.
You could argue that he could have just listened to it instead of starting a podcast but here we are.

Episode 3 is out now (link in bio) where we talk about Songs in the Key of Life by Stevie Wonder.
Here's a clip of Tom describing why he loves it so much ❤️

Crikey, why does it feel like so much pressure to write your first post social media these days 😮‍💨 😂

But we’re here! The Long Play pod is here 🚨 and we’re so pleased to be sharing all these experiences and going on this journey with you. Things will be changing as we figure things out but what will stay the same is the pod and the music so stay tuned.

This month we’re listening to Bob Dylan’s - Blood On The Tracks and we’ll be sharing the date of the listening party and finds episode soon.

Give us a like and share to help spread the word, it’d be much appreciated. 🚀
