Radio Caroline Jingle

[pvjohnson52]

Use to listen to y'all back in the mid 70s when I was station in England. Loved the jingles. There was a language barrier but still enjoyed listening. And they played some good music then.........U.S.A

[peanutzinuk]

Remember listening to Caroline (what became North) on myu $5 2nd hand Pye radio with the green "magic eye" and valves that would fry eggs! and listened to what later I found out was Simon Dee on Easter weekend. I was stationed in USAF @ RAF Sculthore, Norfolk. RC was a great change from the booooring Beeb, and R Luxembough with it's channel-fading (by design!) & 15 minutes record progs. I liked Caroline so much, I went to 6 Chesterfield Gardens, and in the 70's named my Daughter after the ship.

[MANTLEBERG]

MAGIC

[MANTLEBERG]

CANT UNDERSTAND HOW IT ALL WENT HORRIBLY WRONG, ALL WE GET NOW IS RAP-CRAP, ANGRY BLACK VOICES MOANING BASTARDS, THE WORLD HAS BECOME A DARK PLACE, LAUGHTER AND HAPPINESS IS A YESTERDAY THING

[UpMyOwn]

@MANTLEBERG Its really not that bad, there is good stuff out there, just takes a bit of looking for!

[yobbsmissesalge]

@MANTLEBERG Not if we get our way , we are trying to get the Ross Revenge a permanent mooring at Ramsgate, with a M.wave signal & Pirate Radio museum. If you still care find out about it and get behind the effort. Love & Peace.

[spikespeed125]

@MANTLEBERG @minimartin3 @UpMyOwn The thing that went wrong is that in the recession people start to forget to enjoy the good things in life, Life, People and living. Everybody watches TV through which they see adverts and want things they can't get. When they can't get what they want they become miserable and forget to cherish what they already have. I always think the 60's as an easygoing era and everyone is happy with what they have.

[sonicgsxr750]

@MANTLEBERG i would love to have a go at the skull n crossbones broadcasting, but as you say its all crap, although, there are still plenty of really good bands out there and also not forgetting the music we are fortunate enough to enjoy a lot of the tracks before some skanky rip off artists decided to really ruin the music scene and destroy some really good tunes! keep music live and real!!

[TheRadioVenus]

Happy Birthday, this Easter weekend to Radio Caroline...from The Radio Venus.

[jonny7dreamin]

Does anybody have a copy of the original Caroline tune that they can download onto youtube...I believe it was sung by the Fortunes and Buddy Holly and incorporated the Radio Caroline ship's bell...Unfortunately the copy that was on here has mysteriously disappeared off of youtube altogether??? They were brilliant days, sadly never to be repeated...:{

[tim60s321]

Caroline was released by the Fortunes a birmingham band but didnt make the charts-so common in the 60s if you didnt get airplay..ironically it became an iconic sound of the 60s by being adopted as the radio caroline theme tune- heard by millions

[UKRelic]

The best days when music belonged to the young and not to corporations and TV shows

[fairyscape7777777]

My gosh did that bring back the good times nobody could do it like radio Caroline and the staff thanks a million for that

[dec2034]

Sorry pressed dislike by mistake!! The Ross Revenge was equipped with one of the best record players ever: The Russco studio pro B. It beat Garrards & Technics by a mile.

[john111257]

great post...elp...fortunes...AND MOST OF ALL..THE BELL..best days

[mberry593]

Wonderful! Thank you for posting this.

[untied1000]

i especially like the sonovox radio caroline jingle a third of the way through this fantastic to hear it on youtube.

[Nozzernomates]

Oh, the memories...........

[SueAfc712004]

sorry was from roundabout 1967

[SueAfc712004]

Does anyone remember a song that used to be played on Radio Caroline all the time the only words I can remember are " pretty as a picture"

[Kenipedia]

@SueAfc712004 Caroline was at sea across 4 decades so whenabouts do you mean?

[tongapuss]

Gosh, how well I remember Radio Caroline, its jingles, Radio Nordzee International, the music was so much better than and we also got Kenny Everett, Noel Edmonds and loads of great DJs from these ships. They were such great days, pity they had to close down, bloody government. Bah humbug!!!!!

[ChrisCurtisFan]

I'm a fan of British Invasion Music -- huge beyond words!! For the love of everything blessed -- can't figure out why the BBC would play but two hours of sixties music -- I lived on the US side of the pond, got all the music 24/7/365 -- truly the best music of my lifetime! Thank goodness for pirate radio!! May theses ships live on and on, at least in the hearts of the people who got access to the music they played -- in spite of the BBC! :-) Thanks for the post. It's in my Faves now!

[ravansee]

Brings back the memories being station in the UK from 1963 to 1967 in the Air Force. Best, the very best, radio station that we had to listen to music on.

[arfurchance10]

The best time ever to be a teenager.

[MrCol2020]

Wow this takes me back to my teen days,

We owe it to the pirate Radio stations they forced the BBC's hand and finally step up a popular music station "BBC Radio One " ( Medium Wave , Mono ) in those days.

[grandyzer]

hihhi, yeah.

[zefusk2]

adorabili!!!!!!!!!

[AbuAvital]

I had the benifit of Caroline north. Those were the days!!

[alfiesgirluk]

wonder If you can get one of these as a ringtone??

[gurneyer]

Dont recall the opening jingle (post Aug 67?) but the theme song still sounds great. Do we know who sung this?

If you werent there, Caroline & London were the crucial elements during the swinging 60s, magical days.

[UpMyOwn]

Caroline was sung by the Fortunes

[stephendowney1850]

caroline by the fortunes

[UpMyOwn]

@gurneyer The first part is the beginning of Karn Evil 9: 1St Impression - Part 2 by Emerson, Lake and Plamer off the album Come And See The Show and the second part is Caroline by the Fortunes.

@jonny7dreamin

You'ill be lucky to get any toons downloaded to youtube because of copyright infringement.

Even my own written and recorded music gets deleted.!!! Good luck Jonny.

[starrgazer1000]

BEST WISHES

[55moggie]

the station of the family ,

[jajus125]

For people who realy like living with the feeling what is music,,these where the best times,unfortanetly,the goverment is allways there........

[jajus125]

dit waren nog eens mooie tijden

[delpotman]

Dit waren zeker mooie tijden! Maar ook van radio monique, mi amigo, delmare, laser 558 en daarvoor nog veronica. Echt zonde is dat! Er zijn honderden zenders op internet maar de zeezenders dat had wat! Live vanaf een woelige noordzee is dit radio....Ben benieuwd wat radio paradijs geworden zou zijn!

[jajus125]

Nooit meer iets gehoord van radio paradijs P.S. , vroeger zocht ik ook veel naar goeie zenders op korte golf ontvangers , heb er nu ook weer een ,maar heb veel storingen (ze zeggen van mobiel telefoon verkeer

Groetjes!!!

[sandydogy]

I went past the Ross Revenge on the Olau ferry in 1990 I was only 10 but remember the dj at the time saying he could even see the price of the duty free scotch on the shelf it is hard to explain the feeling when on board its is one of calm and tranquil feeling that you can not explain, a shame it got very politcal when the Dutch and at that time the Thatcher goverment had it raided, Radio Caroline should in my view of being brought in to the law not rebelled against by the goverment

[jonesik942]

my best friend is a current DJ on radio caroline every wednesday 8-11pm - ive been and met a few of the Dj's like Mike Brill, John Brocks and Dave Foster - legends

[tinker5k]

thanks, somewhere in the shed i,ve got a caroline on 319 sticker

[grubengeist]

thanks for posting

[carrotandcoriander]

the boat that rocked inspired me to find out more about radio caroline.wish i was aroudn in the 60's,the music was great and radio caroline sounded as if it had so much spirit,not like radio stations these days.

[djbuzz1994]

pirate stations are still going on, here in cork at the moment there are 4 major stations on air

[minimartin3]

im only 17 but my dad fondly speaks about this.... i wish i was around then... not only does it sound more fun but i hate the music these so called celebs keep banging out. its awfull! i listen to 80's music mostly i can not be botherd about turning the radio on any more its all rubbish!

[UpMyOwn]

Thank you for your comment. I suppose I'm biased but I also think the music then was better. My cousin's husband is Tony Christian who is a DJ and spent some time working for Caroline aboard the Ross Revenge in the 80's.

[ty3165]

@minimartin3 and chris moyles is a cunt too,i hope this helps

[80istWithoutBorders]

i remember waiting every nite for this jingle to come on... thanx

[fillmystocking]

@80istWithoutBorders oh god... me too. what lovely memories... : >
