@on1ymeuk Thanks for the comments and great memories to share so was this the very early days ??

[on1ymeuk]

@boogiel01 yes the very early days of lwr either 1981 or 1982 if my memorey serves me correctly i was only 15 or 16 years old at the time so getting a shot live on air in the early hours through testing at my age was great but i rember them well , most djs where either from JFM or LWR as JFM was allready out there and LWR was in its very early days i worked on hospital radio in banstead surrey and thats how i got into LWR chance meeting with Johnny H but yes good times :)

[EssentialRhythm]

The old Jingles I remember them...... cueing them up after a very slow 3 2 1 then remembering either fade out or press pause!

I did drive from July to October in 1984 following Westwood who was doing an afternoon show at that time.

The memories................... thanks guys

[RazerForce]

Those were the days. I never cared about having good music in the car as long as I could get LWR. Their music was so funky and all my tapes were acid house and LWR

Anyone remember that LWR Jingle with the two kids singing ... "LWR you´re tuned to LWR" ....

[boogiel01]

Hi Razer yes mate ive got that LWR jingle on here so you must have listened to the Jacking Zone Jazzy M back in the day

[RazerForce]

Sweeeet mate now you see there is your uber ringtone right there, that mate is the shit. Yep i definitely remember the the Jacking Zone with Jazzy M. It was like having a night club in your Car

[kazmatt1]

I remember Westwoods electro show on wednesdays after school .I'd never heard anything like it . The jingle at the start brings a shiver down the spine (signal to unpause record on the tape)

[tapz1972]

Yeah remember that too,Ive still got a couple of TDK,s here somewhere (recorded about a month apart).. with Doug-E-Fresh the show STILL at No 1.That tune was there was there for ages lol

[kazmatt1]

You got yourself a" fresh crisp biscuit" there mate, a bit of slick rick lol. Tell me if you ever get them to mp3 i would love a listen

[fukademous]

@kazmatt1

Fresh Crisp Biscuit indeed!! All we need now is Chris Nat to be Luge and Legal on the radio :))

[fukademous]

@kazmatt1

I used to sprint home to catch hi 4pm show :) Nice one!!!

[FILABJBOY]

@kazmatt1 LWR was the place for electro in the day.I was a kid in the 80s and remember the show well, loved it......

[zakd111]

Used to pick it up in watford and tuned in all the time. Got the tapes somehwere. Westwood, Zack and daddy ernie lol. Cant remember the DJ but could be Ron, he used to do the hiphop and soul mixes, dope. The lady who used to play late night rare grooves on TKO, memories.

[boogiel01]

Nice one zak it was all proper presenters back in the day fella not like all the bolox on the airwaves now:(

[boogiel01]

[Luckiegirlie10]

Please help me replace an old 12inch i used to own. I really can't recall the exact name. I can tell you it was used by the radio station LWR back in the 1985 - 87. The theme tune L.......WR ....92.5...FM.

I owned the 12 inch i bought it about 1985 i remember i was a boot leg, yellow label it was like a drawing done by hand on the label. I keep thinking it was by Lonnie Liston Smith i am sure it was that or Lonnie Smith. Its definatley jazz funk type instrumental

[zakd111]

That sounds almost exactly like.......Lonnie Liston Smith - Say You Love Me. On hitman records, yellow label. I have 2 copies. lol.

[boogiel01]

Your bang on zak let's hope luckygirlie10 see's your message

[boogiel01]
