The Manic Street Preachers talk about the making of 'The Holy Bible'

The Manic Street Preachers have been talking to John Wilson for the new series of Mastertapes, to be broadcast on Radio 4 in November.

James Dean Bradfield, Sean Moore and Nicky Wire talk and play their way back to 1994 and the making of 'The Holy Bible' - the band's third album, a lyrical and musical expression of anger, hatred and despair.

It is also an epitaph of sorts, for Richey Edwards, the band's lyricist who battled depression, anorexia and alcoholism before disappearing just months after the album's release.
