CD Reviews

GOOD AUDIO TIME CAPSULE (3.5 to 4.0 stars)

LIQUID8R | 09/07/2006

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Yeah nice - enjoyed this as a pretty good recreation of what you could have heard on Big L back in the day. Some harder-to-find semi-legit audios of actual broadcasts are around, but they are generally rough quality and include some DJ chatter that sounds a bit dated and inane now - by contrast the station IDs and jingles on these discs are good audio and keep the pace going. The hard-core sixties collectors will know from the tracklist that it's probably not for them as some tracks are a bit too familiar, but there are enough lesser-known goodies in there that typified the pirates (imagine the beeb's reaction to "Stop you got me going" or "oops" ??) and a few "shouldabinbigger" tracks too (why wasn't Episode Six "Morning Dew" a bone-fide hit ? - probably too many versions around at the same time.) Have also seen some negative comments that some of the music gets close to "easy-listening pop", but that misses the point that a big part of the pirate audience were housewives at home with young kids. If it wasn't for these 2 points "I'd give it five". And finally - old Cuddly Ken was a bit ahead of his time wasn't he ? - if he did all those jingles and things with bits of audio tape, imagine what he would be doing with digital technology now ??
