The young Sean P's fascination with music started pre-school, when he would play his father's records all day and listen to the radio. He was given his first 45 on his birthday in 1971.
During the time of Two-Tone, punk and disco, Sean took the urban 'soul head' route. Spurred by the big sounds of the day from Atmosfear, Azymuth, The Real Thing, Light Of The World and Hi Tension, he tuned in to the specialist soul shows on the radio. Sean played his first gig in Wimbledon in 1986 and, having been inspired by pirate radio, he made his debut on the airwaves with pal Dave Lee in 1987 'til its demise in 1990. By that time, he had also given up his button-down office job and took a post in a record shop - an intended stop gap, but he's still in the same game today.
Over the past ten years or so, Sean has helped record labels and magazines by providing sleeve notes, cover copy and other source material for reissue projects and collectables features. Since the '80s, he had also been messing around with tape edits - and decided to join a friend on a venture he christened Better Days Productions. He's also collaborated with long-time disco 'spotter Dave Lee (again) co-compiling and annotating the popular Disco Spectrum and Disco, Not Disco series.
Sean says: It's inevitable " you're asked to 'do a tape' and your head fills instantly with everything you think the recipient(s) might/should like - and usually, it's based on a theme or style. With that in mind, I've attempted to put together a varied 70 minute mixture that should have something for most tastes - knowns, semi-knowns, a couple of 'version excursions'.
