It was over 45 years ago that Radio Caroline defied authority and broadcast the music which we really wanted to hear. A wonderful time! Anyone who tuned in to those 60s transmissions will be delighted with this CD set featuring unique recordings together with many of the hits of the day. As soon as you press the play button you will hear those familiar jingles and commercials and be transported back to the days of pirate radio. Disc 1 features Johnnie Walker’s evening show with his unique chat and hits of the day. Disc 2 features Bob Stewart playing the hits and a fascinating rarely heard 20 min Beatles interview. Included is an original 40 page archive copy of Beatwave magazine (valued at over £30) with pictures and stories of the time, including a Paul McCartney self-portrait on the cover. This unique set is available for only £29.99.
