Record of the week
Each month I'll place a YouTube link on the 'Blog' of a favourite record and a few words about why it's a favourite
If you have a particular record that you would like to feature here then just let me know the name and why you consider it a favourite
'Caroline' - The Fortunes
Here's one of my favourites
This was the theme tune for 'Radio Caroline'. A Pirate Radio Station dedicated to popular music. For the first time ever, popular music was broadcast all day, thanks to the vision of those backing the Caroline project. Gone were the days of trying to listen to the only option prior to Caroline, Radio Luxembourg, which was plagued with fade due to atmospheric conditions associated with 208mw.
Did you know that in 1964 the BBC broadcast only 45 minutes of pop music a day? No wonder we all became rebels
Radio Caroline changed the UK governments views on music for youngsters, which appeared to have been controlled or regulated until pirate radio started a musical revolution
