Why is the BBC Radio One Rock Show on so late? 01:00 – 03:00. It’s discrimination, I tell you!
… I’ve only just remembered about the BBC Radio Listen Again feature. D’oh!
I’m off to bed now.

I was digging through a cupboard the other day and found some ancient cassettes. I played one and – Alan Freeman, Saturday afternoon rock show circa 1975/6. Only a couple of songs but did it rock? Not ‘alf.
I used to have a TDK D90 cassette of the Friday Rock Show circa 198/89, featuring the late, great Tommy Vance. I’ve no idea what happened to it. I guess I must have taped over it with a Slayer or Celtic Frost album. I remember it had a great song — that I’ve never found out since what it was — by German rock god Udo Dirkschneider, plus some legendary Candlemass, and various other bits and pieces. I’ve often wished I’d kept it, but in those heady days cassettes were a valuable commodity for tape swapping.
