This is a re-post of a set I compiled for BZ containing Tommy Vance's specials on The Beatles from 1979 and 1980. These shows preceeded The Beatles At The Beeb by a couple of years and introduced a huge number of British listeners to The Beatles BBC radio sessions. It's touching to hear him choke up just before he spins "Carol", this being only a few days after John's murder.

Also includes continuity from in and around the Beatles segments.

Thank you Lord

Thank you...yet again. Another little gem

Tommy Vance had a great show there for years, even when he was playing Diamond Head

Thank you starts to seem meagre compared to what I have gotten from you Lord R. You have made my year so much better. Thank you.

It's hard to contemplate a time when this was all the good quality BBC stuff we had.

Thanks.

Miss Tommy Vance, he had the male equivalent voice, of Leona Graham.

That gritty, let's rock type voice.

I think this is the final piece of my LR puzzle. Would someone kindly re-up this one? Thanks in advance.
