shaznay when I was taking my exams my dad bought me a big red and cream square radio with big knobs or dials and I loved to listen to r lux at night felt like a proper teenager wish I was that age again. todays technology is great but somehow lacks tha magic !

I listened to it every night (in bed) in the 1950's. It sometimes faded out and then came back, but I thought it was brilliant,

who can remember the nickname the dj's on Luxemburg had for Elvis Preseley

 

yES,I was listening one night I was 14 at the time so 1954, and the D.J said I havea new record to play by a guy called "The Cat", it was Heartbreak hotel, and was originally released under that name ,,,,,but of course it was Elvis

Monday at 10pm it was the Jack Jackson Decca record show, followed at 10.30 by Pete Murray with more Decca. Capitol had a half hour slot at 10pm Tuesday. I had a crystal set which gave intermittent reception but upgraded to a transistor in 1958. Hidden under the bedclothes so parents couldnt hear it - or so I thought.

hi hazel, tell me how many weeks was the record at number one.

[hardworker 10]

I remember it well, listening under the covers and losing reception all the time. It also had advertising and jingles which we used to sing along to. I have never lost my love of the radio - one of the cheapest pleasures in life. Now I listen to Radio 4 and learn something new every day.

Caroline was a pirate....didn't that come along in the 70's:?:

 

No Radio Caroline closed about 1968, Tony Blackburn ran snivelling to Radio 1 and he was their 1st DJ, the first record he played was Flowers in the Rain by the Move
