Comment:

They heyday of Pirate Radio in the UK was 1964-1967. The stations operated from ships in international waters and satiisfied the huge demand for pop music during the beat boom. The top stations, including Radio London, got their jingles from PAMS. The Who incorporated Radio London jingles on their Sell Out album. The Radio London jingles in this mix are used to link a number of very British-sounding tracks from the mid-sixties. The cuts aren't really typical of the usual fare on Radio London, which was similar to American Top 40 radio of the time. Instead, these tracks are gems from the second tier of acts, the ones below the Beatles and Stones in the pecking order. Although they weren't as innovative, their style is more "of the time," at least to these ears. It's a Pirate Radio "fantasy" because the songs are not representative of what was actually broadcast and because the music is presented in full fidelity. For those who desire a more faithful experience, it is suggested that the CD be played through a crappy two-inch speaker.
