Subject: RE: Vintage Radio Recordings. Hit parade,.
Did you tape any broadcasts from "Saturday Club" ? '60 through to '65? Carl Perkins, Del Shannon, Roy Orbison, The Rolling Stones, Billy Fury, Joe Brown & the Bruvvers, Cliff and The Shads, Gerry and the Pacemakers, The Searchers, in fact nearly all the Merseybeat bands, all live in the studio. The Beatles of course did many SC live sessions but their BBC stuff is available on CD. There were a lot of other artists; The Steve Benbow Folk Four, Val Doonican (very uncool)dozens of of Brit Trad Jazz bands and acts that disapeared into oblivion. A lot of it was rubbish even then, but there was some real gold there. Given nostalgia and hindsight even some of the rubbish would be worth a curious listen.
