Does anyone have any memories of the golden age.  |
Of course!
I've also got a very vivid memory of what it was like before Radio Caroline.The only station that ever regularly played rock or pop was Luxembourg and half the time the transmitter would fade out for about 2 minutes.This meant I would only get about half of a song at a time..The only time we got any such songs on the Beeb was on Children's Choice on a Saturday and most of the time it was mixed in with crap like The Laughing Policeman.
Radio Caroline was the answer to a prayer and when the PTB gave in and allowed the Beeb to set up Radio 1, I was over the moon.I can remember the very first broadcast and the tune that Tony Blackburn played on the very first Breakfast Show which was Flowers in the Rain by the Move.
