Wonderful Big L, definitely the most professional and popular of all the Pirates,it was the Soudtrack of most teenagers lives at the time, and especially ' Sonowaltz ' a most evocative sound of the 60's that fills me with utter warmth & nostalgia !.I was on a training course at Bletchley Park on Aug.14th 1967, and can so easily remember the forboding of feeling at 3.00p.m , thinking that Big L was gone for good - but never forgotten ,- such happy memories !.
no plush studios...JUST MUSIC LOVING PEOPLE..up and down on the seas...bloody politicians sat on their arses said...you cant do this...WHY ...EVEN THE STARS OF THE DAY SAID THIS WAS THEIR WAY TO SELL RECORDS...politics suck
" the time is 3 o clock and radiolondon is now closing down" last words from big L aug 14 1967. why do governments spoil peoples fun, they put my road tax up to £25 when i was only earning £13. per week. but i always remember at the ballot box.
sorry brain dead right now....the music to this vid is called "sonowaltz" also known as the Big Lil theme. I found a lot of the voice overs for Radio london AND Caroline Continues were somehow speeded up..if you could slow Caroline Continues down you would find its Johnny Walker narrating!!
Nice to see some footage of Big L. It was the first station I picked up on my new transistor radio on my 9th birthday and easily the loudest signal on the dial. Unfotunately a few months later the government closed it down. A child traumatised for life! Thanks
The Big L!!!!!! Happy days!
