BBC Radio 1 Alan Freeman Rock Show Intro (1st April 1989)

[simonm7133]

Timeless Fluff. Listen to just how professional and articulate Freeman is and compare with the gormless 'in yer face' yelling you get on Radio 1, Kiss, Capital and others now.

[bmgm3]

I think this show may have been the last time I ever listed to Radio 1, and that's no bad thing !

To BackToTheBlues - I have some Fluff shows from the 70s and also some from 89/90. Email me at danteregalia@googlemail for details with your address and I'll copy you some if you cover the postage.

[jayrox40]

Happy days before radio went shit!!

[ianovlogs]

I love this stuff, it takes him over two minutes to even get to the first track and why not!

[dee74raz]

@ianovlogs Very true and the first track was KINGDOM COME - Do You Like It !!!

[2spaceace]

THE BEST DJ THATS EVER BEEN.

[BackToTheBlues]

I really, really, really miss Fluff on the radio, someone MUST have some full shows they can stick on the net for us...

[dee74raz]

@BackToTheBlues People have attempted to do that, but unfortunately record companies either force youtube to block videos or remove them if they contain records that they do not want to be shown on peoples youtube channels.

@donaldo1959 Thank you very much, mate! :D

[Banner1979]

Does anyone know the name of the instrumental track playing at 0:57? Cheers.

[dee74raz]

@Banner1979 I think its a track from Deep Purple, but I can't remember what the track was !!!

[Banner1979]

@dee74raz Nope, it isn't. I did hear this song once on Planet Rock, but forgot to get the name. Could either be by Wishbone Ash or maybe The Edgar Broughton Band. Not sure.

[Stoaty123]

@Banner1979

It is Frankenstein by The Edgar Winter Group

[Banner1979]

@Stoaty123 Cheers, mate. Great track.

[Banner1979]

Remember this very, very, very fondly!  Listened to it almost religiously for 4 years. :))

[dee74raz]

@Banner1979 Not arf !!! LOL (I have to stop saying Not arf !!!)

[Banner1979]

@dee74raz And who can blame you? *lol* :wink: I remember listening to lots of classic tracks on this show that I hadn't heard previously, such as Don't Break My Heart Again by Whitesnake, Highway Star by Deep Purple and Long Live Rock 'N' Roll by Rainbow. Ah, the memories. :)
