Old McDonald was definitely a low for Elvis Presley!

John Miles should have sued Simon May for parts of Benny's Theme!

'And on that farm he had some chicks...' - I don't think Elvis meant baby chickens!

Brilliant! I wish this was downloadable so that I can keep a copy of this important cultural resource. The original Show 1, 2, 3, 4 streams seem to have been deleted.

Shirley Anne Field played Lesley Ash's mum in Where The Heart Is and fleeced her of money supposedly for an operation.  She was going to Spain instead - shouldn't she and Steve Bent have gone together?

Part 1 (hour 1 of a 2 hour show) of the 1980 version of the World's Worst Wireless Show. This did not have quite the same impact as the original 1977 version - but it was still a classic radio broadcast. This recording is minus adverts and news (shame). Broadcast on 4th April 1980 between midday and 13:00 hrs.
This show count-downs from 30 to 15.

Kenny Everett : 1980 Bottom 30 (Part 1) World's Worst Wireless Show. 4 Apr 1980. Capital Radio

Check my web site for LOTS of information about a;ll the artists featured on the Kenny Everett World's Worst Wireless Shows which I have posted. I have a small label (Equation Records) which loses money and would welcome some support! My screen-name "Chronoglide Skyway" is from a Hawkwind song from their album "Astounding Sounds Amazing Music" - Hawkwind are my ALL-TIME favourite band!

As for me - I am a British expat living here in the good ol' USA (since 2001). I grew-up in East London (well,mostly in Leigh-on-Sea, which is quite a way East of London). I'm a Petroleum Reservoir Engineer (technical & boring but pays the bills) and my various uploads are as a fan and for fun only. I make NO money from presenting this material.

I deeply dislike and distrust Facebook (although I do have a presence) and refuse to have a mobile phone (so no Twitter [whatever that is]) and, frankly, all these other gimmicky new fangled technological stuff / fads / thingy's. It's really either too above me (true) or it's just all rubbish and we're making life HARDER for ourselves (maybe I'm half-right).
 
Personally, I would LOVE to just go BACK in time and live in 1950's Britain (austere though it was). Possibly back to the Edwardian era as well (although I need to be able to bring my meds with me, and soft loo paper :-). I do NOT enjoy living in these fast-paced modern times - it's all moving far too fast for my liking. Basically I'm just a grumpy old unapologetic Luddite. I'm just an old nostalgic grump-pot longing for simpler, easier, slower times!
I LOVE cats though, so I do have some redeeming qualities!
