Caroline by The Fortunes

[trishaprine]

I just think about the old days and my dad and mom when I hear these guys

[henrithefreak47]

the quality is too good

[micky849]

how many of you sixties pirate fans remember ROARING SIXTIES singing WE LOVE THE PIRATE STATIONS, never a hit but popular, good memories

[pzjg70]

1966 !!!

[maxpatterson25]

This is the "National Anthem" for all 60,s pirate radio fans!! It does sound better when heard on the old medium wave (AM), with all the crackles & fading in & out that we used to get back then. (Especially if,like me, you were listerning hundreds of miles away in the North East of England)

[micky849]

@maxpatterson25 yes, we had all the pirates down in london but you did have radio caroline north for a few years. us southerners were spoilt for choise, caroline, swinging radio england, north sea international, radio sutch and many more. what memories of brighton beach and my transistor

[pietergiant]

This is the real version! When all so called "pirate stations" stopped, Radio Caroline continued playing this. It's apity on Itunes you can only find the dull re-recorded version.

reminds me of colchester in the 60's cherry tree camp

[micky849]

AGED 16, TRANSISTOR RADIO AT MY EAR ALL DAY, WHAT AN ERA, CAROLINE R.N.I, SUTCH, ETC, 60S WHAT AN ERA

[TheDavidjoy]

@micky849 You said it, what times they were. I remminis so much over those lost days. The World today is such a nasty place in comparison. The girls fight more than the guys now. The high streets were never like today on a Saturday night. Thank God I was born when I was. People today will never know how magic it was.

[mountain177]

love how you picked up the drag. that brings new life to the song

[tim60s321]

bring back the pirates! those were great days ... when the DJ's heard an interesting new sound and played it as many times as they liked promoting obscure records to all time classics..so different from today with the playlist planned weeks in advance...the worst being boring and mediocre BBC radio 2

[TheDavidjoy]

@tim60s321 You said it my friend

[makarios54]

Mi Amigo R.I.P.

[gabbysbuddy]

Thanks for that - not the re-recording! (Gross!!)

[grooverheliboy]

My older bro was telling me about this song cos he listened to the radio Stn under his bed clothes he said it was brill.. !!

[klassicracer]

this song sums up the mood of the mid '60,s, upbeat, professional and fun, please take me back!

[yunorisson]

Further to my earlier post this tune also closed transmissions of 'Caroline' at 2am each morning and was enjoyed by all police officers on night duty (10pm to 6am) when taking refreshments in the early hours of the morning.

[yunorisson]

This opened 'Caroline' at 5am each morning. I was a young London police officer around 1963/64 travelling to duty for 'early turn' (6am to 2pm) and tuned into this fantastic sig tune.

I will never forget the memories.

[moggyparty]

i will come running when shes calls

[cwebbfan]

RADIO VERONICA  :-)

[roland349]

[sandydogy]

[startrucker1]

@sandydogy You mean the Lazer Hot Hits theme? I have that on a tape full of hot hits jingles etc. i'll try to to post it for you soon.

[agreenslade49]

Great to hear this again, takes me back to the days of pirate radio. Radio Caroline SOUTH and Radio London were the best.

[yozzerpool]

this record and a song called rinky dink was always played on radio caroline north by disc jockey tom lodge,the southern station was nowhere near as good as caroline north

[bluepetes]

that was when radio was great

[gurneyer]

Excellent, many thanks for posting.

[lizichell]

Its the wonderful sound of vinyl

[sidney0212]

Superb.Great sound quality.

[wb5oxq]

Audio always sounds so good on your site! Thanks for the music!

[chelseaoz52]

Great, love it! can't wait to see the movie 'The Boat that Rocked."

[yuniyonson]

I am SO glad that people lke MANXRAV...wont let this great time die...from deep in the heart of the old DDR

[manxrav]

yes it was the theme song for Caroline and it is now on the internet and Sky radio stations. Caroline North was always far better than the South ship

[wb5oxq]

Isn't this the theme song of Radio Caroline the of shore broadcast station near the UK in the 60's? They may still exist on the internet.

[SeanElGatoTelevision]

@wb5oxq: There is a modern online  Radio Caroline...but this version caters to the indie-rock crowd, not those who remember the offshore pirate original.

[m2esectr]

That's a lovely 45! I've never seen a customized turntable mat before...

[pepys]

keep it comming

[rancherodave]

cool looking record player
