UPDATED AUGUST 2008What's new this month? We have two articles
from 1966 in which Simon Dee takes the lid off Radio Caroline, kindly provided by Keith Martin; we have
more on the 1964 Radio Caroline programme format which we published last month; we
have inducted Paul Hollingdale and Harry Putnam into the
Hall of Fame and added a couple of rare recordings too. See the contents page and DJ Directories
of the sixties and seventies for a full index of the site.
