I need to go back and do this for the Rock of Ages show too, but here's the breakdown of the Birth of the Beatles show. It's always interesting to me how full of fluff these shows are. I mean, I get it, let's make a 20 minute interview into a 45 minute show, but I digress...

Code: Select all

Runtime: 42:52
Presenter: Ray ??? (Allan mentions his name 'Ray' a couple of time, but of course never says his last name, and there isn't a proper Intro or Outro, so he never says it himself.)

1. The Beatles - Love Me Do [1:27]
2. Intro/Allan Williams Interview [2:28]
3. Gerry and the Pacemakers - I Like It [2:12]
4. Allan Williams Interview [0:24]

No. 3
Next up is 'Making Waves' - a review of the Beatles solo careers from Capital Radio (London), presented by Alan Freeman. There's a few adverts on the tape and one of them is promoting the movie 'Breaking Glass' which was released in Sept 1980. Nothing really new in the programme, just a cut and paste of interviews and music. No edits etc, just de-clicked. This is the raw tape and I'll edit out the adverts for my own copy. They can be interesting in their own right though, like the 'Fashion Fair' at Kensington Town Hall advert, entrance to the show was 20p. Makes you feel old, doesn't it ?

Keith Badman lists this interview in his book 'The Beatles Diary Volume 2: After The Break-Up 1970-2001' as 11th Sept 1980. Keith was an old friend of mine, once upon a time.

Great book....used to correspond with Keith back in the 80’s too.

We met at the Liverpool Conventions when a youthful Mark Lewisohn was battling it out against Steve Phillips in the Beatles Brain of Britain Competition. I often wondered what Steve was up to today.....
