In anticipation of this extraordinary event, 6 Music presents a series of programmes that take a closer look at the album and the people involved in its creation. Starting on Sunday 21st November The First Time with Creation Records boss Alan McGee (12.00-1.00pm) explores his first experiences in music and involvement in the conception of this seminal album. Then, later that day, album producer Andrew Weatherall presents a 6 Mix Screamadelica special (8.00-10.00pm), playing the tunes that influenced him and Primal Scream lead singer Bobby Gillespie during the making of the album.

Paul Rodgers, Editor BBC 6 Music says: "Screamadelica is a contemporary record that sounds as good today as it did when it was released, nearly 20 years ago. It's an important album for 6 Music listeners and we're proud to be able to not only bring context to the album with special interviews from those involved in its making but also to bring fans who couldn't get tickets the first live performance of the album in its entirety."
