Hello Dick: Just downloaded t Top Twenty shows. Radio Luxembourg went the way of all things and passed on eventually, and it turns out no-one kept a record of their charts. Hi - what a great site. from the 60's to trade or sell? Great memories! On the night of Monday July, 17 1967, at 23.00 hours, for the first time Leen van Dongen and I arrived at the Luxembourg studio's; invited by Colin Nichol. It was called a "magic eye" and it would expand and contract as Fab 208 faded in and out. It was great listening to music being played
It brings back a lot of good memories as I listened regularly in my teens back in the 60's. The Powerplay was there before I joined the radio station in 1974 but it was regarded in the business as an important promotion for a release - as important as getting on the Radio 1 playlist. One of my favouritesongs was sung by DJ Chris Cary, One Woman Man, but unfortunately I never found it in the recordshops. 208 Radio Luxembourg was a part of my life, when I was a young boy, now I'm 58 and having a new homepage http://www.hw-finking.de/ about Buddy Holly in English and German, I wrote something on it about 208.

So it was a very special moment for me. Perhaps, this is a temporary station problem. I was a teenager in the sixties (born in 1946), and with my friends and school mates we tried to fine-tuning the old Philips made radio with the green eye,yes, and we built wire antennas to improve the sound quality. It took a couple of days to search by mom's on the dial until I found it, and what a discovery it was! I managed to get a t-shirt
