Tja, de laatste oud &nieuw voor Caroline vanaf internationale wateren. In november 1990 eindigde het offshore radio avontuur voor deze radio legende. Het schip zou nog een jaar aan het anker blijven hangen daar op de Falls Head, echter in nov 1991 sloeg het noodlot toe. We weten hoe het eindigde, echter het luidde ook een geheel nieuwe periode voor Caroline en de Ross Revenge in. Nu op de drempel van 2025 is zowel de Ross als Caroline nog altijd springlevend.

The recording of Nigel Harris/Dave Asher 17.45-18.30 is from 31.12.1988

It is the same programme as Caroline-19891230-1115-1200-CarolineMartin.mp3 (which has better reception, but is only the last 45 minutes of the show).

 

If you listen to "Caroline-19891231-1200-1400-NigelHarris.mp3", it follows on nicely and Nigel gives the same weather report at 12.30pm.

 

I think that the correct date for the recordings is Sunday 31st December 1989.

To avoid confusion; apologies.

Also, this date is wrong; at 9m35s Steve Conway and Kevin Nelson discuss the closure of the Irish free radio stations which happened at the end of 1988.

 

Therefore, this should be 31st December 1988.

 

Chris Cooper and Gavin Ford certainly weren't on board (they started in Autumn 1989). Caroline Martin wasn't on board either (she returned to the ship on 2nd January 1989 after a two-year absence).

 

I do hear contributions from Dave Asher, Neil Gates, Nigel Harris, Frances Hayes, Kevin Nelson and Mike Watts around midnight (some are just talking and laughing in the background), however Radiopedia refers to this as a Steve Conway programme.

Thank you Lightkeeper for this and previous corrections. Much appreciated!

 

To keep things clear, I have worked out both December 31, 1988 and December 31, 1989 below.

Dank je Hans voor de uitwerking, Heeft iemand enig idee wat de titel van de plaat van Erasure is die op nummer 38 staat in de Top 60?

When I read this first, I wondered if this was a trick question...

 

Only after researching did I find out that, despite being one of their biggest hits in the UK and Ireland (and hugely well-known), it doesn't seem to have charted in the Netherlands or Belgium...

Bedankt Hans voor jouw uitwerking.

 

Aanvullende info:

In dit programma draaide Judy Murphy tracks die in het jaar 1988 GEEN hit werden. Dit voordat de Top 60 van 1988 aansluitend vanaf 12 uur van start ging.

Dit programma was van tevoren op band opgenomen, omdat Judy al van boord was toen dit zou worden uitgezonden. Het zou tevens haar laatste programma voor Caroline zijn.

A Little Respect:

 

 

Erasure nam een CD single/EP op geheten Abba-esque, die ik destijds  kocht in 1992, metdaarop Abba nummers.

Een Abba-clique, geheten Björn Again (Australie 1988), nam daarop 'wraak' met "Erasure-ish" ("A Little Respect"/"Stop!"), waarvan ik ook de cd-single kocht....
