Voxjunction Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 What do YOU think is the best radio record to,listen to in an open top car, going down the highway on a beautiful summers day.... LOUD!!! Great choices there, Arthur. For me:- Steely Dan - Do It Again Same Old Scene - Roxy Music Radar Love - Golden Earring Not necessarily my all time favourite songs, but great driving songs.

scruffygit Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Don't know about best record ever, but I once heard an Irish jock on Sunshine Hot hits 101 do an incredible talk up to the vocals on Gwen Guthrie's - Ain't nothing going on but the rent. Since then I just love to hear that song on the radio, very cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voxjunction Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Don't know about best record ever, but I once heard an Irish jock on Sunshine Hot hits 101 do an incredible talk up to the vocals The Irish stations of the 80s led the way IMHO. I visited Sunshine in the early 80s before the "Hot Hits" format. A great station but they tended to live in the Shadow of Nova and Energy. Then along came Bill Cunningham from the USA with his new format and they never looked back. BTW, a late welcome to the forums. I've been running a 70s related website for the last 12 years. I'll pop a link to your station on my site when I next update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinglemaster Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Just a few I could drive happily to: Europe - The final countdown Robert Palmer - Addicted to Love Donna Summer - I feel Love The Osmonds - Crazy Horses Michael Jackson - Billy Jean Chris Rea - The road to Hell Tracy Chapman - Fast Car The Alesi Brothers - Oh Lori No idea why I would have some of them, others have meaning like the Alesi Brothers, when I first got on the road in the 70's.

It was during the build upto the re-launch as Hot hits 101 I think! They had 4 stages for the re-launch. 1. Non stop music 2. Music and Jingles 3. Music , Jingles and Jocks just ID'ing 4. Full programming Very cool, just wish that I could have heard it all the time! Ooops bit off topic I suppose. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arfa B Posted February 4, 2009 Author Share Posted February 4, 2009 I visited Sunshine in the early 80s before the "Hot Hits" format Not a lotta people know this, but I decomissioned the big Marconi... (no, maybe Pye) I recall transmitters from the Sands Hotel? They were humoungous units only 1 kW each. Got some pictures somewhere. Still got the service manual for the transmitters here! :-) If I have helped you with a Freebie- please be kind enough to add a link from your own site or blog to mine- thanks! http://arthurburton.net Thank You!
