At the end of 2009, just a few months before he died, Malcolm McLaren put his musical life into context, in a programme first broadcast on 6 Music, marking the end of the decade.

He talks about the origins of Rock n Roll - in particular the early blues - John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters and Robert Johnson. The look of music and the sound of fashion. Sid Vicious dressing like Eddie Cochran and losing his virginity to Nancy Spungen.

The first record Malcolm bought - Twist and Shout, the Pierre Cardin Beatles suits and being obliged to give John Lennon one of his own silk suits.
