In honour of Record Store Day yesterday, Jarvis presents some exclusive records, both brand new singles and classic re-releases. Featuring a jazz poetry superjam by Michael Horovitz, and great TV themes from Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Star Trek and the jazz-playing puppets from Thunderbirds. A recent study has shown that new music lights up the brain's reward centre: we test whether new cover versions give your nucleus accumbens a double-whammy of pleasure. On This Day in 1989, protests began in Tiananmen Square and in 1990 Sinéad O'Connor started a lengthy run at the US number one spot. And our old-fashioned host recalls flexi discs fondly but admits that Facebook has him foxed. Birthdays: Iggy Pop (who remembers starting out and his influences), Alistair MacLean, Ira Louvin, Robert Smith (who's tougher than he looks) and Eddy Christiani.
