The Roaring 60's - We Love The Pirates
Loading...
Uploaded by jimmytheferret on Jul 10, 2008
For those of you who live on a diet of Radio 1 and thousands of other FM/AM/internet radio stations...you have no idea how crap things were until the pirates lit a firework and shoved it up Auntie Beeb's bum! Metaphorically speaking, of course. (Don't play with matches)

Just watched the movie last night (Pirate Radio) it made me go out and but the entire soundtrack on CD (which I already had most of on vinyl) LOL I really loved the flick....

Though, to be honest, most of the pirate output wasn't THAT much better than we get now. It was repetitive and play-listed. It was a huge change from the BBC Light Programme, and changed the Beeb's attitude to pop, so that was a good thing.
Most people don't remember that "Roaring Sixties" went on to become "Family". Looks like everything evolves in time ...

@nikiroman He was a crafty old devil, he used his pipe to give himself time to think of answers to questions. I am afraid he was completely useless. But hey what's new when it comes to politicians. He should have been addressing important issues not ships at sea playing pop music. Pathetic.

I've read that Steve Priest of Sweet played on this record.

Now it'd be "We love the pirate websites"

I remember the demise of the pirates so well. All of a sudden there was boring old radio one. Apart from Top Gear with John Peel it was dead. I would rather listen to the pirates, even in the evenings when it sounded like they were going underwater.
