Best Radio Station Ever ! Always Loved That "Smooth Sailing " Jingle.

I listened to it every day! Best radio station!!! Wonderful reception in Rotterdam Netherlands!!!!!!!

Loved this but its too short. is there a longer version?

Patricia Hayes always brilliant 👏 ❤

Exiting times for radio. I’ll never forget the exiting MW band with dozens of new offshore radio stations popping up every so often. My favourite’s were radio City and Swinging Radio England, but loved them all. Now look what we’ve got. 🥹

I listened BL from the 1st hour(radioo veronica was 1st) but not till the end in 67. the reason was i was 5 months in the middle east. as i came back i had forgotten BL completely and i still feel sorry for that. Jingles and dj’s english pop music i won’t forget nevertheless.

The jingles were generic and are duplicates of jingles on famous US & Canadian stations. That said they were more exclusive on the British side of the great Atlantic pond. Love the good work the pirates did.

Radio 630 surely Radio 390 !!

very interesting,hmm must be very lonely too.

bloody southerners, who needs a swimming pool in Essex. I hate them. ;)

I listened to Radio Caroline from France

It's still going strong on facebook page Caroline Flashback UK

Remember the start of Radio Caroline , it was the start of a radio revolution, other than Radio Luxembourg we had never heard anything thing like it,. Still have never heard anything better since then!!!

Is this the cine film and soundtrack record they were selling before closedown?

RSG must have felt like an explosion to Brit teens. This puts American Bandstand to shame.

awesome swinging ...what happened

Please, please do this again from the start. It should start with the "Smooth Sailing" jingle. Thanks !

"The mast was 212 feet tall, 23 feet higher than Nelson's Column..." Really? According to Wikipedia the Column was originally believed to be 183' 9" (though it's actually 169' 3"). 23 feet higher than that would only be 206' 9". It's more likely that the mast stood 180 feet above the deck, although several feet projected into the hold and was anchored with concrete ballast.

The Memories

THOSE SOLDIERS WERE GREAT WHO FOUGHT ON THESE IRON FORT.

It takes you back we had radio Hauraki 1480 top of the dial in New Zealand. I just love The Boat That Rocked love this old film footage

All were sleeping with no one on anchor watch?! Why were they even on board then? Not providing for a basic watches amounts to a dereliction of duty and endangerment. Was there even a command structure on board the ship? I would have left no stone unturned to insure no one involved with the ship prior to the emergency call, would ever own or command a ship without under going thorough re-education. Hefty fines along with complete restitution of all cost associated with the incident, plus clean up costs, would also be levied.

This must have been a great time for young listeners! Never really had the chance to listen to it, while I was too young :-)

Very good Memories!

This clip is from Ready, Steady, Go on ITV in the 1960s with Dusty miming to the record. Great voice.

BRING THEM BACK

The pirate ships came about because Britain was undergoing a major pop/rock music revolution in the mid-1960's, and the BBC had a monopoly on radio broadcasting with only a few hours a week of pop/rock music. There was a demand for the music, hence the pirate radio ships. Had the BBC decided to launch Radio One in 1963 instead of 1967, the pirate radio ships might not have even come into existence, or at the very least, there would have been far fewer of them.

Good old Tone

The BBC did win the in the end, very sad.

i saw caroline in '66...radio died with the offshore channels

the best days of radio...a legend

Some people don't relies that Caroline is still around.. search for radio Caroline on the web..

would be a great place to hide in a zombie apocalypse

Thanks for posting. That's probably the earliest footage that exists.

REG CALVERT LIVES!!!!

Bert Kaempfert - That Happy Feeling - Polydor NH24862 - 1961 Great to see on board the ship after all these yearls. I loved that station, happy memories!

Does anyone have the full jingle right at the start? it goes "whoopee" right at the end.

Anyone know the name of the song that starts at 3:49? I thought it was Billy Vaughn, but no, and it wasn't Henry Mancini, but strucked out on that one too, so any ideas?

I Loved Emperor Rosko ! Long Live Pirate Radio .yay!!!!!!..

Where I would go if I had a trime machine and go back in time! On the doorstep of a history a would rewrite much of the world's future both then and now and forever....

I used to listen to RADIO CAROLINE when i was stationed in Augsburg,Germany in the Us Army in 1966.

To DB7MM, the tune is "That Happy Feeling" by Bert Kaempfert.

Where all the best dj's came from

part of pete's sacking was down to him not having the right image for the group. ringo had a good musical background coming from a band prior to the beatles
