laser 558 Looking for Laser 558 first day recordings

[Lee M]

Hello, everyone. My name's Lee, and since Laser's 40th anniversary is upon us, I've been on the lookout for recordings from the station's first day on the air, 24 May 1984.. Together with my own recordings and those on the azanorak archive I now have a large part of that day, but there are still several gaps which it would be nice to fill.

 

I see that on this very forum, Vincent once posted links to cassette recordings covering the period from 0700-0030, but that was back in 2013 and the links were to zippyshare which of course is no longer available.

Is there any chance these recordings could be re-posted?

 

On a related topic, a friend of mine is currently transferring a number of reel-to-reel recordings featuring Caroline and Laser from 1984-7, including some material from Laser's first (and as it turned out, only) birthday, and I've also found some cassettes of Laser's music tests and Caroline and Laser programmes from May-June 1984, which I'll try to get transferred as soon as possible.

Thank you Vincent, but it's not the first hour. This one is mainly a year after...

Dear Lee,

 

I uploaded a Dutch documentary about the beginning of Laser 558 which was first on 729kHz, start on January 19th 1984.

 

The first 5 minutes are in Dutch, afterwards a lot of test transmissions. Hopefully these programs can help you to complete the history.
