The classic indie/rock (or whatever genre you want to pin on it) album under the microscope for this XS Long Player is The Farm's 1991 debut album 'Spartacus'.

Frontman Peter Hooton sits down with Jim to discuss the making of this classic record with some fascinating insight around Peter's journey into songwriting, the buzz around the band in the early 90s and that infamous feud with Oasis.
