- Record intro's and outro's with Johnnie Walker voice overs. Studio quality audio recording from 1968.
Johnnie Walker has done more for radio than anyone else in the UK. Rock on Johnnie. Radio Caroline, Radio London, Radio England, Radio Mi Amigo, Radio Invicta, Radio North Sea International,Britain Radio,RadioSutch, Radio 390,Radio Veronica,Radio Luxembourg,Radio Atlanta,Radio City and many more of the pirates that ruled the waves, the continent and the Thames estuary forts. All have added something to the history of British and European Radio Broadcasting. Not all good but Caroline stands out as the best and most influential station ever.
I wish radio stations like this still existed. This is when radio was fun. I'm so glad that I lived during this era.
As I see we are few with The Past. (460 individuals in a whole world ). desintegrated eliminated zombiemattered NoWherePeople
...OK...RADIO CAROLINE-MI AMIGO..toujours NUMBER ONE..!!!
.
Radio Monique still is
Johnie Walker, sixties music and Radio Caroline jingles - pure heaven
oh my stars how many nights staying awake and listening to Johnnie, he introduced me to Otis Redding, he was amazing loved pirate radio. what a great time it was...thank u johnnie
the days of great radio better than all the crap stations we have today how I miss the pirates
nothing will ever be as good as caroline or london stations.
he is still the best dj on radio 2 Johnnie Walker is a legend!
Agree...JW and Fluff Freeman absolutely brilliant DJ's. Johnnies voice is instantly recognisable and thank God we didn't lose him. I was listening to his Drivetime show on R2 when he told listeners he was going off the air for a while to undergo treatment for Non-Hodgkins lympoma.....exactly the same thing my Dad died from.
Will there ever be a DJ called Jack Daniels? As you may know, both Johnnie Walker and Jack Daniels are popular brands of whisk(e)y
This was such a great special time and I was there. Amazing. What memories of that period I have. Thank you Caroline and all your DJ's for making the sixties special. Never to be repeated. It was original and fun, now all the music stations sound the same.
The best radio station ever, even by today’s standards, I loved that era
All the DJs, 60s bands and radio listeners owe all to Ronan O'Rahilly the founder of Radio Caroline. Thank you for the sounds and the memories Ronan, hope you get better soon.
THIS was kick ass pirate radio! Back in the day when music ment something more than just jinking around.....
The good old days have come and they have gone..my God we need them back!
Thanks for reminding us how good it all was back then.
god i wish i was alive back then! these guys had actual music! so much beauty!
Yep - the very best DJ ever from Caroline in the mid sixties and my bedsit days in SE London, through Radio 1 and the 70's and still rocking now - met this guy when I was on "Pop the Question" '76 - amazing and just the best voice and music ever. Total respect for JW. We love you you Johnnie. Suexx
I realise now I have been listening to Johnnie Walker for almost half a century, like his namesake whisky he is still going strong!!
Great to hear JW again. Big thank you to JW you are the person who influenced my musical taste more than anybody else. I owe you one
Brilliant days of music when everyone listened to those pirate ship stations when DJ's were fun and worth listening to
Had a dig at Tony Blackburn's Radio 1 breakfast show: "They've all gone to be d, and what have they got to offer at 7am? A dog and Jimmy Young singing The Man From Laramie"... it could only be Tony and Arnold he's talking about. Funny thing is, They'll soon be working within a couple of hours each Sunday on Radio 2 as the Golden Hour follows Johnnie's Sounds of the 70s, due to a schedule reorganisation caused by blind panic in the face of Boom Radio's success. Poacher turns gamekeeper, eh Johnnie? 😀
If it were not for this station there would be no Radio One, no BBC local radio and no commercial stations. Caroline we salute you!
Johnny my heart goes out to you what's going on in your life now .2024❤
The One and Only.
Some of the new DJs want to be like J.W, but he is THE UNIQUE
goosebumps with nostalgia! wonderful JW
Excellent compilation well put together. Pirate Radio played a massive part in changing the face of popular music on radio forever.......yet very little is credited to it. Obviously still a thorn in the side of authority!
JW always been my favourite DJ.......rock on Johnnie!
I was posted to shoeburyness about 68,and loved listening to Caroline,Come back,Days of Pearly spencer and other brilliant songs were played all day.
Johnnie Walker, the King and the voice of Bob Stewart on the jingles - pure magic!!!
Just been on the Ross Revenge off West Mersea for a Tour of the Caroline Radio Station - Absolutely brilliant. I felt I had gone back in time to when the world was a better place. Keep it up Radio Caroline 😀
aw man, what can you say about this. the man who changed radio for me, absolutely fantastic, great, lovely to hear things like this again, allgram.
Used to listen to Radio Caroline and "Johnnie Walker" in Augsburg,Germany when i was in the US ARMY in 64/67 (had excess to a Grundig radio with short wave band)
This is how radio should sound, way better than what we have now; and Johnnie Walker, the greatest of them all, with us down all these years. Why is he tucked away on a Sunday afternoon?
At 14 years old,the best radio station ever.All the best music of the day. Where all todays top DJs started. Tony Blackburn,the great Johnnie Walker. like all good music still both still Such great memories
Pirate radio was the best. Heartbroken when the government banned it
The government ruin most things for their own reasons which we never seem to be able to question or change... ?!
pirate ships Caroline and London the heart of the 60s before coming ashore to start radio 1 thanks for the memory
they didn't come ashore - london shut down and caroline continued offshore until 1990 with some breaks . radio 1 was a poor imitation by the bbc
@@peca263 Radio 1 had needle time too. Off at 7pm - at the same time Luxy208 was on full live.
Them were the days, they were my days.
Have just reached the age of 65 and the music and JW sounds as good today as they did then !!! and my radio played only pirate stations then !!!! many of the bands are still around playing at the solid 60s show
Great memories, thanks. I was a Radio London fan, until they gave in to the government's Marine Offences Act and shut down on 14 August 1967, and from then on I switched to Caroline and Johnnie Walker. He helped me through those difficult teenage years. Good wishes to you Johnnie, wherever you are now.
sir johnnie walker, a legend
The brilliant jonnie walker loved his jingles
J.W an absolute legend still going strong on radio 2 sunday afternoons.
ahhh! the memories... feel young again... what a tonic
I am in heaven listening to this, I wish it was the 3 hour show. Radio Caroline, so ahead of its time, I miss those days so much!!!
good old days ...JW the best ever dj..WE MISS THE GREAT DAYS
Great inspiration for many. Thanks Johnny.
Johnny came to San Francisco around 1977 or so and did some fill-in work at KSAN. He had so many great stories about the pirate ship days, and of course lots of great music...
radio at its best caroline 1968
Perfect cuing intros from the expert.
still sounds good after all these years!
Listening To Johnny Walker whos brilliant any way,love his Sunday afternoon 70s show, but what a great selection of music i have just heard, J W makes any record sound better!
Keep Rocking
Ian Smith
I'm so envious I wasn't alive when great radio existed!!
It's about time Radio Caroline was finally available Nationwide on either DAB+ or AM, in recognition of the part they played in breaking the BBC monopoly and bringing free, commercial radio to the UK! #nationalradiocaroline
Great to hear the jingles again, great times in music
How come I can remember every word of the jingles, but can’t remember what I did last week? Great compilation.
Just brilliant! And he still is............
Bring em back , cool selection.
J. W rocks.
proper radio..proper dj..big respects to mr walker
The greatest dj on the greatest station
What happy memories this all too short recording of an actual show from Johnnie Walker brings to me and countless others who remember fondly those happy times listening under the covers on a tranny. If you ever read these messages Johnnie allow me to say you were a large part of my teenage years growing up in Manchester. My wife and I followed you to BBC but it was never quite the same as imagining you on RC north taping pennies to the record player arm during storms to prevent the needle jumping. When you and your family drove across the USA my family and I had just emigrated to Vancouver...so we didn't feel too sad missing you on the BBC (though we did and do still miss you and RC) .. God bless you Johnnie, always to be in our hearts....Barrie in Spain
This is NOT an actual show. It is a recreation done in the 1990s.
Was serving up in the Yemen in 1967 and picked up Radio Caroline at night.
johnnie still sounds as good today on radio 2..
Also today!
If he's not in there already, he should be inducted into the Rock 'n Roll - or preferably SOUL - hall of fame!
It doesn't get any better than this, The great Johnnie Walker. And I was a Frinton Flasher happy days.
Sir Johnnie Walker, the big time talker.............The Best!!!!!!!
It seems like since those days there've been no changes for the better, only the worse, I mean in general. I first heard Radio Caroline when I was about 7, on a little pocket radio I got for Christmas, about '68. I remember my parents' worry about me listening to 'those pirates', it was illegal! Didn't stop me or anyone else, did it? Later came RNI. These stations had it all. Best music, best DJs, and the damn fun of it all.
This sig tune was also used on Johnnies show on bbc radio 5
JW is just the best DJ in any medium-should still be on daily!!!!
I used to listen to all this on an old radio we had when I was only about 3 or 4 years old back in the 1960's, my late mum used to let me listen to it because it always kept me happily occupied while she got on with the housework although I used to sing along to some of them, of course, at the time, I was far too young to have any idea what I was listening to in terms of the history these songs would make in the years that followed and obviously I also had no idea that this was something that was being done illegally, I don't think even my mum really understood or cared, few would have, the music was good, that's all that mattered, happy days :)
Caroline. Is back now on am 648m for ever
..but only with one kilowatt of transmission power. So we cannot receive it in all Western Europe like it used to be in those beautiful days... :-(
Das wurde auch in Deutschland gehört. Wundbar, wenn ich das wieder höre!! 259 Caroline
I used to drive down to Essex so that IT wouldn't fade out
Now that Caroline is to make a return to AM broadcasting in 2017 maybe we can again hear 'proper' radio. Come on Johnnie, come back and show everybody how great radio can be compared to the rubbish we have these days.
mon époque FORMIDABLE qui ma donner envie de faire de la sono (comme DJ !!)
I could only hear RC on the Mi Amigo when I used to visit my late Aunty and Uncle who lived in Southend. When RC transfered to the Ross Revenge you could pick up the signal in Derby in the 80s I had it on my car radio and the music centre there was no comparison , It stood out from Radio 1. among my fav dj's John Ford, Peter Philips, Simon Barrett and Kevin Turner
Where on earth did you get such a high quality recording? However you got it, we are glad you did! Wow
this was the best time,bring them back,PLEASE 1
too late we're old
Still sounds great all these years later. Actually I never met him but I did know his mother, Mary. Johnny(Peter Dingley) is my 2nd cousin.
on August 14th 1967 radio Caroline gave birth to the 21st century thank her and the disc jockey Johnnie Walker
Download the Radio Caroline phone app. It's almost like going back in time. Golden Oldies Rock !
Don't you just wish DJ links were as short and direct (and about the music) as this nowadays? It truly was about the music back then. Shame how we have lost that for the most part.
radio caroline was the best station of the time blew bbc radio away
Ma prof d'anglais de l époque s est tjrs demandée d'où je tenais cet accent....si peu conforme .... Ttttsss.... J ai appris l'anglais grâce à ces radios que je captais en MW....en bord de la côte d'Opale.... Thanks guys...so nice...
JW a true Gent, and I am a life time fan, he gets better with age, but nice looking back to my youth
Some of these clips are segments from a cd which Johnnie Walker specially recorded to recreate how it was in the old days of Caroline .The cd was called 'Don't Touch That Dial 1.and was meant to be a series featuring other dj's too,but these never materialised,I remembering paying upfront for the cd,and then it took many months for it to arrive.
The cd was recorded for Jumbo in 1994 .(TJCLCD 1968A) Produced by East Anglian Productions.
Johnnie Walker, simply the Best!!!
Oh the records and the DJs so wonderful such great times .we had the very best radio in the world and the labour government killed it .oh how I wish I had gone out there to work on Caroline .if I could have that time over I would be there like a shot .Caroline is now a legal station based on land its good to have it back but its lost its magic
it would never have sounded this clear! You would have to be constantly on the tuning dial to dial-out the phase and modulation and interference|! But that's what pocket radios were for!
Love the massive reverb for the first eight seconds...
Ended up hosting the afternoon show on both Radios 1 and 2 at the same time, when they occasionally shared shows. That jingle "Remember this golden classic" towards the end has been used by Radio Luxembourg, Radio 1 and, as recently as the early 90s on my own show on Taunton Hospital Radio!
Incidentally, how did you manage to get a stereo recording from Radio Caroline?
I did not know that he worked on radio 2.I will need to have a listen xx
FANTASTIC RADIO...miss it so..
Johnnie Walker,un des meilleurs DJ de la planète à l'époque des radios pirates
The fact that this is in stereo leads me to conclude that it is NOT an original recording but a Cruisin' style recreation.
Yes it is a recreation done in the 1990s at the Frinton studios of Ray Anderson and later sold as a CD.
I have never bought a radio to listen to the BBC in my life!
brilliant video and what a great sound...and the jingles ....
Johnnie Walker ...a great dj thx for posting
Great time the 1960s
Brilliant, thanks
Brilliant, thanks for posting.
frinton flashing...memories come flooding back
Old but solid gold.
how far in my life does this take me back
I openenly admit to being dumber than a box of rocks. Please explain the what/why of pirate radio! When I was young we usually only got one crappy AM station that included such thrilling programs as "The Farm Report" for a half hour and such til hours later they would get back to the music.
Rex Russell Just Google Radio Caroline, Radio North Sea International, Radio London, Pirate Radio etc.
Angela Edwards Thanks miss, I'm aware of Google's information box. Mostly I post stupid comments or questions to get my "circles" to start chatting. I guess the question was "Why was This station so important to You?". Radio was everything to us old farts, it was how we heard 90% of New Music. How did radio affect your youth?
Love it ,,,always Johnnie ok go back to Lux
Why is the quality so insanely good? Are you sure this is 1968?
Awesome, and the Movie will make your recording famou! Love from the States!Penny
Memories of when DJ's could play whatever they liked. If their tastes were bad, they didn't last - the way it should be now, instead of playing the same old rubbish day after day. Long live Radio Warrington!
