Old Radio Commentary? - col63m - 27-04-2015
Can anyone help?
Does anyone have, or know where I can find, old TT radio commentaries?
I must admit I haven't yet emailed manx radio, although there doesn't seem to be anything obvious on their home page.
It would be great to listen to old races exactly as I remember them during the late 60's, right through to the mid 90's.
Any info would be much appreciated.
thanks

Just had a quick search on Amazon.co.uk it has 1960s TT race commentaries on CDs. Selected full race commentaries (60s - 90s and also a few from recent years) were also for sale via download (I bought 1992 & 95 Seniors a while back) at 7.50 a pop! Not sure if you can still get the downloads as I can't seem to find them on Amazon..

I think they've stopped them. They were on Amazon (up to 2012 I think) this time last year, but I couldn't find them when I looked last week.

There are 2 or 3 for sale on ebay including the 1966 TT and 'TT Sound Stories'
RE: Old Radio Commentary? - numptydad - 28-04-2015
I have a couple of these 1961, 1967 via download from Duke, plus a vinyl of the 1979 Classic and Senior Races, originally produced by a radio and TV shop in Douglas, sound effects aren't so good on that, but the commentary has the atmosphere. I did a pirate tape from a friends vinyl of 1961 and the 62 Junior, but that has become knitting wool through overuse.
Good Luck in contacting Manx Radio, but don't hold your breath

Have you made contact with Fred Clarke -sure he would be interested -nice guy
RE: Old Radio Commentary? - DaveOldham - 28-04-2015
Makes me wish I'd somehow had the nous to record them off Radio TT365 before it got canned..

Manx Radio are missing a trick not making them available for download - surely it would boost their income stream.

Been looking at the CD's listed on Amazon and ebay, find them a little expensive for what they are, especially the box set
http://www.dukevideo.com/prd9953/TT-Audio-1958-68-10-CD-Box-Set £39.99
http://www.dukevideo.com/prd9943/Senior-TT-1958-TT-1959-Audio-CD £9.99
http://www.amazon.co.uk/CDs-Vinyl-TT-Audio-CD/s?ie=UTF8&page=1&rh=n%3A229816%2Cp_32%3ATT%20Audio%20CD from £4.25
Surely some anorack saved the audio somewhere from TT365 a while back?
Is it worth asking on Manxforums as someone might have saved the files?
There are some on youtube though
RE: Old Radio Commentary? - c iom tt - 29-04-2015
I used to record them on cassete years ago, but for the life of me I can not find them anywhere.
All on TDK C90 ( remember them?)

A decent search may find what you are after......
RE: Old Radio Commentary? - col63m - 29-04-2015
Many thanks to all,
I'd really like to listen to those TDK C90's, that sounds exactly what I'm looking for. Just the raw radio commentary, warts n all.
My memory is fading a fair bit so can anyone give me a timeline for which commentators were where? and when?
ie when was Tommy Robb based at Balacraine?
When did Geoff Cannel start and finish at Ballaugh?
Is there a book on all of this?
I like the idea of contacting Fred Clarke and other forums.
cheers
