Re: Atlantic 252

Well now, let me think …

Favourite memory of it was the newsreader reciting the lyrics to Step On in his newsreader voice over a backing track. Heard one morning on the school bus (a coach, with a sound system, and a driver who loved Atlantic 252).

Around the same time (summer 1990 most likely) discovering exactly what a playlist and heavy rotation meant, as a sixth former supervising younger kids on an orienteering day, sitting next to a car in the sunshine with the radio on all day.

And from 1991 to 1994 listening to it on almost every occasion radio was required because you could pick up precious little else in the corner of south west Wales where I was studying. Including the time they changed the phrase that pays to “I listen to the best music on the Jackson station - Long Wave Radio Atlantic 252” because they utterly lost their minds over Black or White and seemed to have it on some sort of super-heavy rotation.

Fun times.
