Just finalising the mp3 now from newly discovered old and very poor condition C120 cassette, played back for the final time before it fell apart...LITERALLY disintegrated in the cassette machine......must be the ONLY recording of these shows now in existence, located in my attic, been looking for my old childhood Radio Hallam tapes for ages....

contains the (late) RAY STUART SHOW extracts from September 1978, Sunday morning show 10am to 12 Noon..

extracts from KELLY TEMPLE Sunday morning show September 1980 interviewing KATE BUSH
and
extracts from Kelly Temple's Hallam top 40 Countdown show Sunday 2pm to 5pm........September 1978

check this thread later for URL and details for streaming mp3
contains some complete songs as well from 1978, but all commercials edited out at time of recording....
theres a few great jingles in there if you stick with it.....

bit of local history eh? How many 70's Hallam recordings are around these days other than the standard Roger Moffat
stuff on the net.....

Hi Goldenfleece.

I still have some recordings on cassette from as far back as 1974.
I have not played them for a few year but believe they still work.
Most of them are me, practicing my DJing when I was 15 years old but some did contain Hallam recordings to.
I lost a lot of them when water got to them some years ago and I will delve into the loft tonight and rake them out and see whats on them.

dont know what my bandwidth limit is so if it does not start......er....try again another day...

Many thanks for posting this piece of history, I personally like the unedited version with all the pops and scratches.

Mrs Grinder is in the loft searching for old tapes as we speak ;)

OK I've found a few tapes, non are written on to suggest what I may have but it is Radio Hallam :thumbsup: :thumbsup: , a quick listen reveils some Tony Jasper and some Brian Westlake, possibly from 1984 and 1982 both tapes include news bulletins and ads, so now I need some advice.

I will have to listen to the other tapes to see what I have.

What is the easiest way to rip them to MP3 Do I need to turn them into WAV files before converting to MP3 and can anyone recommend free or low cost software for Windows (or Linux at a push).

What I did was to record onto a CD recorder I bought years ago, on a CDRW, then rip the CD in Adobe Audition to mp3 format. Thats my personal method, there are easier ways, you can record in mp3 format directly, but you need the right software for that, dont know which it would be.

Love to hear the stuff though......

My face Hallam jingle of all time is on thew start of my mp3 I put up...well half of it is there, the 2nd half of the jingle being to the lyrics

OUR STORY'S MOST SINCERE
THE GOOD SOUNDS THAT YOU WILL HEAR
WE'RE KNOCKING AT YOUR DOOR
ON WONDERFUL 194......


now what was the first verse, I have forgotten.....

Found loads more tapes taken off the radio ..no Hallam stuff so far but if anyone is interested, I have an absolute trunkfull of Tony blackburn STEREO top 40 shows off Radio 1 FM from September 1979 to December 1981...all more or less complete, and SUPERB quality, all chrome tapes, and all could be put to mp3 easily. Anyone bothered? Tony Blackburn? The living Radio legend?

I've also been looking through mine and found a tape of the revive 45 show with Kelly Temple.
The year is 1967.....I think it was recorded in 1978 but I will ttry and find time to listen to it all.
Its a liitle fast on my modern tape machine and needs slowing down.

Love to hear the stuff though......

You will

Ripping as we speak, although this Tony Jasper tape sounds a bit like an expiated version of his programme :(

Mrs Grinder was looking forward to your tapes of "The Radio Hallam Hot 100...", or at least a taster of it :(

As I recall the top 5 always included Queen Bohemian Rhapsody & Led Zep Stairway to heaven.

Thanks for the nostalgia trip Goldenfleece! Well Done!!!

Hearing those old Hallam Jingles on the other thread seems to have got peoples juices flowing

Grinderbloke

try http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

It's not a bad piece of software + it's FREE!!!

You'll have to download the lame encoding engine to convert your recordings to MP3 but you'll find the instructions on the Audacity web site

I lived in Warsop in Nottinghamshire until I left home at 18, and was a short wave listener from the age of about 12.

I've just taken a look in my 'listening log' (the 1977 A4 ring binder) and there are a couple of reports for Radio Hallam there on 1546 kHz. Somewhere I THINK I have a QSL card form the station.

The main thing I remember was the Station Ident - something like 'Your information station is...Radio Hallam'.

Hallam's signal wasn't quite as good as BBC Radio Sheffield in North Notts, but was totally listenable. They also put in a reasonable FM signal if you twiddled the aeril a bit. :)

Wonder what happened to Kelly (Shirley) Temple. Wonder which take away he is working in.

Kelly Temple was last heard of working for one of the music channels in London....something like MTV but not as big as that one...but that was a few years ago now and I dont know what has become of him since......AFAIK he never went back into radio, or if he did, only some very obscure station that has not publicised him at all......

Mr Temple was famous on Hallam for getting his words muddled....he spoke excellant English but did suffer from pronunciation trouble from time to time...
Lets hear that Great Revived 45 show.....I used to have loads of them on tape, but alas, all deleted many years ago now.....

Ascended into the North Western corner of the attic this morning at a rediculous early hour and dragged down 7 boxes stuffed with cassettes, dating back as far as 1972. There is some more Hallam stuff in here SOMEWHERE, but also a great archive of old Radio 1 top 20 shows.....think Ill put some up on the web as its all classic stuff in its own way. I am sure most of these recordings are unique as I have almost every show from September 72 to October 2001..........

Check out
http://surferdude.netfast.org/radio1//

and various mp3 files of COMPLETE shows will be appearing, purely for historic value, no copyright infringement intended ....all small mp3 files as used new compression method, about 9 MB for one hour of audio, but sounds OK.


COME ON HALLAMLAND.....DIG OUT YOUR OLD CASSETTES OF HALLAM IN THE 70'S AND 80'S AND LETS GET THEM ON THE NET!!!! Even if edited, anything is very useful......there are few jingles from the early period I would LOVE to hear again...

Send them to me if you dont have the time to do it and I will gladly convert them to mp3's and set up a web page if we get enough of them.....

Sometime in the mid 70's I had one of those Radio Hallam yearbooks ..... took it to their reception & asked the woman if she could get anyone to sign it ... got a phone call a week later, everyone who presented at the time signed it & anyone else who was in the book also signed it on their page. Thats in my parents attic somewhere ( I hope)

I used to have one of the Radio Hallam yearbooks too, a 1977 edition I seem to recall, signed by Keith Skues and Ray Stuart....dont quite know where it will be though...I bet these are like gold dust now.....

Listening to Goldenfleece's Hallam recording has answered me a question.In 1979 I bought a single that was to become one of my all time favourites;Baby Hold On by Eddie Money.He has never had a hit in the UK but is still going strong in the US.I have often wondered where I got to hear of him and the tape of the Legendary Ray Stuart has answered my question.Cheers.:thumbsup:

Was the year book a glossy (black with orange/red) "magazine" with heavy covers? If so I have one of those somewhere, sadly no signatures.

Radio Hallam also did a newspaper at one point, only ever go hold of one edition so guess it wasn't a great success.

I remember the day that Roger Moffat said the "B" word.
Thats when Hallam was a radio Station.

I love Eddie Money....did you notice the version on the Hallam mp3 was different to the version on the UK Eddie Money albums? Compare them, its interesting, no instrumental break for one....and repeat of verse 1.....

i have seperates with a cd recorder :)

I understand from a friend, that Kelly Temple is no longer in show biz type work. He owns one or more deli's in London, 'Kelly's deli's' and is married with children.

Must look him up next time in London.......wonder if he has any old tapes himself of the good old days of Hallam.....

extracts from KELLY TEMPLE Sunday morning show September 1980 interviewing KATE BUSH

A very crackly telephone interview, I'd forgotten how crackly old telephones were before they were all digital. I wonder if Kate can remember that interview.

[QUOTE=goldenfleece]there are few jingles from the early period I would LOVE to hear again...QUOTE]

Goldenfleece,
Let me know which ones you would like to hear again, I just might have them.

Remember Magic at Midnight - and the ever-so-funny stuff Martin kelner used to do?

Cool

the ever-so-funny stuff Martin kelner used to do?

Martin Kelner is still using the same old material :o on BBC Radios Leeds/Sheffield & York each Friday and Saturday night 22:00-01:00

Tonight Saturday 22nd July 2006 Martin was saying that he thought his first radio broadcast was on Radio Hallam in 1977, doing a country show? Do any of our resident Radio Hallam experts know if this is correct?

You can listen again to the Friday and Saturday night shows at:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/ then launch radio player > local radio stations > Radio Leeds etc.

Martin also does a podcast (mp3, for us oldies) of stuff which is not suitable for broadcast on the BBC:

Happy memories indeed

Warning for anyone on dial-up - 3 meg download

just finished reading a book that Martin Kelner wrote a few years ago called 'When will I be famous'-travels through the dark side of show business. He follows pub and club turns, well away from the bright lights of the West End. Its absolutely hilarious and shows he is still a very funny bloke. Recommend it to anyone. Great memories of his shows on Hallam.

Probably because it was linked well over a year ago and has long since been removed. Maybe the OP still has the mp3 and can link it again?

Oh Yes Ditto!!!

I rememember Kelly Temple always called Frechville Frenchville.
When I were a lad I used deliver Ray Stuart's papers, except he was called Ray Brooks aka Frankenstein ( and his monsters) I am sure that his alsation bit him when he had his stage gear on.
Also Beverley Chubb, Keith Skues and the old feller with the nightingale.

and the old feller with the nightingale.

That would be Bill Crozier.

By the way please, please, please re-link those vintage Radio Hallam recordings from earlier in thread, PLEEEEESE!!!
