....a very valuable post..because offshore radio was a booster to music, creativity and freedom from the late 1950s to the late 1980s..thankyou!
My dad managed a couple of the offshore radio stations, so it was really neat to see this.
Yeah...glad you appreciate this one Edd...a true rare treasure and no more repercution :(
well...at least we are a good number that still remember what Caroline did for the music!
