Black and Tan

The second (and final) hour of the 2-hour BOTTOM 30 of Kenny Everett's amazing World's Worst Wireless Show on Capital Radio 194 London, UK. This count-downs from #14 to #1. This was broadcast on Saturday 14th May 1977 between 13:00 and 14:00.
This was pieced-together from fragments as I had as I managed to lose the complete recording I made of the final hour of this show. Thus, this is not a "fluid" as the other 1977 shows I have posted. Doesn't matter - it's all great anyway.
There was a 1980 version of the show with some equally awful tunes... I don't have a FULL recording of this (I love the adverts and the period news broadcasts) so I will probably not post the show.

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.

Part 2 (hour 2 of a 2 hour show) of the 1980 version of the World's Worst Wireless Show. This recording is minus adverts and news (shame). Broadcast on 4th April 1980 between 13:00 and 14:00 hrs.
This show count-downs from 14 to #1.
(The #2 song is simply amazing ...)

Deep Interlude

Kenny Everett was king of the jingles, and would often have people he admired provide soundbites for his radio shows - which included the Muppets, whom Everett had introduce his many on-air competitions. On the 3rd October 1981 Kenny Everett returned to the BBC and broadcast his first show on Radio 2. These three jingles (complete with noise and chatter over them) were part of that show - one from Kermit The Frog (Jim Henson), two from Fozzie Bear (Frank Oz).

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!
