Stylus Music proudly presents "Pirate Radio Themes Of the 60s plus others" (10PTING 310).
When pirate radio hit the waves in the summer of 1964 it brought a new clutch of sounds for the teenagers to enjoy with Disc Jockeys to match. Caroline was the first but soon others would broadcast such as London, Veronica, England and BRMD. Before this all we had was Radio Luxembourg, with an annoying loss of signal. It would only last a few years and eventually many of the DJ's would work for the BBC. Here are many of the station theme tunes that opened these shows.
