Commercial radio didn't fare much better either: Greg Edwards soldiered on with his Soul Spectrum on Capital Radio; and, Buy armour lowest price, as there weren't any other commercial music stations, the search for good music started and ended here.

STREET-RADIO

"Street_Sounds_2.jpgStreet-radio". Buy armour without prescription, Don't we just mean "pirate radio". Low cost armour, The name "pirate radio", so fitting for the pop music Captain Birdseyes of the 1960s out at sea, didn't really reflect what was going on deep in the inner city without the safety buffer of a perilous ocean between the jocks and the authorities. What was happening in London was happening down on the streets, armour drug, in the heart of the Capital, and its effect was nothing short of radical. Buy armour low price, In an era where "StreetSound" had a distinct meaning (so much so that it should have a place in the dictionary), street-radio sent a ripple through London that, for a short while, turned into a tidal wave of great music, cheapest armour. It was a simple formula: music for the people, served by the people.

Today's street-radio owes much to its 1980s cousin, buy armour without prescription. Armour online pharmacy, In fact, listen to the sound clip here, and you'll be treated to a young up-and-coming star of street-radio in the days before his dj voice broke and he became one of today's true pioneers of the good music cause. Remember, cheap armour in usa, these were the days before mobile phones and the internet; how many street-radio stations would dare to take calls live-to-air these days.

Norman_Jay.jpgMany of yesteryear's street-radio stars have gone on to celebrated careers in the music industry: Ron Tom, Armour from canada, the main man behind the almighty and wonderful LWR (more on LWR to follow in future editions), the station which along with Kiss 94fm led the street-radio way in the 80s, has become one of the leading record producers in the business (he's the man behind Don E, Sean Escoffrey and Omar, order discount armour, and he came up with the name "Sugar Babes"); Trevor Nelson needs little introduction, being one of the many success stories out of the huge Kiss 94fm pool of talent; Steve Edwards promoted the good jazz philosophy on LWR for years, Armour pharmacy, then rapidly worked his way up the local radio ranks before ultimately presenting a soul show on BBC Radio 1; Ralph Tee (Solar Radio), virtually single-handedly pioneered the genre of New Classic Soul and now runs the incredible Expansions Records, responsible for the re-release of classic and new recordings from the likes of Leroy Burgess and Don Blackman.

DOUBLE STANDARD
Buy armour without prescription, But here's the irony, or even hypocrisy. The very man who achieved so much for good music, Armour approved, uncovering hidden musical treasures and promoting new gems to the masses did so predominantly through the medium of street-radio. The Government clearly agreed - after all, it recognised Norman's supreme efforts by proclaiming him Member of the British Empire. Yet this is the same Government which (via the BBC) provides us with a dedicated house music station which plays virtually no house (1xtra); offers those who wish to selflessly follow the lead of Mr Jay with the prospect of heavy Roy_Ayers.jpgfines, order armour, or worse; and helps to perpetuate a system which provides nothing other than randomly PC-selected Atomic Kitten followed by G4 followed by Abba, intermingled with annoying competitions sponsored by the Wild Bean Cafe, Cheap armour in uk, interspersed with travel reports for streets you'll never travel, all served up by a couple of loud mouthed teenagers with great hair and teeth but who wouldn't know Roy Ayers from Pam Ayres. Were it not for the likes of Ron Tom, Norman Jay and Trevor C, generic armour cheap, the music we listen to today would undoubtedly be very different. Tracks such as Cool and the Gang's "Summer Madness", Aretha Franklin's "Jump to it", Donald Byrd's "Think Twice" and Roy Ayers' "Everybody Loves the Sunshine" gained unprecedented exposure on street-radio, buy armour without prescription. Don't know these tracks. Armour online sales, Think again, as these have formed the underpinnings of numerous house and hip-hop tracks during the last decade, and many have been reworked by talented production companies such as Z Records and Candy Apple Productions.

THE ROOTS OF STREET-RADIO

By 1986 street-radio had matured and covered a whole spectrum of musical styles, order armour no rx. The main players on the FM dial tended to opt for a popular blend of soul, funk and reggae; but the electro sound which had morphed into acid house was also gaining airplay and by 1986 was featured extensively by such stations. Buy armour without prescription, Intermingled between the sounds of Glenn Jones, David Bendeth and Gwen McRae could be found Farley Jackmaster Funk, Scott Le Rock and Marshall Jefferson; but the mix simply represented what London wanted: real music. Online armour, This was the music we wanted to listen to in our clubs, in our bedrooms, in our Escort XR3i's. Whereas, armour india, if we check the Radio Times again, the BBC wanted us to listen to Gary Davies, Order armour overnight delivery, followed by Steve Wright followed by Bruno Brooks, with a blend of Rick Astley, Bros, The Housemartins and Communards, buy cheap armour online. It seemed the BBC censors would analyse a song to see if it contained any bass and if so, deem it unfit for public consumption. Armour cheap price, TOP OF THE POPS - MAY '86

HAS ANYTHING CHANGED?

Twenty years later, and the digital age is with us, the rigid non-commercial structures have been de-regulated and London has the radio it always wanted, buy armour without prescription. Does it, no rx armour. If it does, then there is surely no place for street-radio. Armour pills, Quite the contrary, London needs street-radio now like Spurs need a decent manager - stations such as Unkown FM, Passion FM and Push FM serve to selflessly provide London with the music Londoners actually want to listen to. Yet those who seek to do nothing more than fill a gaping radio hole face the wrath of the authorities; while overpaid, armour sales, musically retarded dick-jokeys fill our airwaves with low grade dross and idiotic drivel. Buy armour without prescription, Twist the dial on your Pure Evoke-1 and surf through the long league of "new stations": Arrow (rock/pop); Century (rock/pop); Chill (pop/chillout); Core (pop); Gaydar (gay/pop); Heat (pop); Kerrang (rock); Jackie (pop); Smash Hits (pop)... notice any trend here. Order armour no prescription required, Before listing the thirty or so other rock and pop stations, let's take a listen to the funk and house stations: must be one there somewhere, but I can't find it. What about the jazz station, buy generic armour. Isn't there a station called Jazz FM there somewhere. Hrmm.., buy armour without prescription. Or - let's be generous to other tastes - how about a country and western station. Buy armour no prescription required, Nope. Big band and forties music. Erm... Buy armour without prescription, Gospel. Ah.., drug armour online purchase. Sixties soul. Er... Buy armour in us, LARGE.jpgIn 1986, it seemed everyone was going crazy over the 1982 Don Blackman self-entitled classic, so much so that as a result of street-radio exposure four of its tracks were re-released on limited edition 12 inch ep. Twenty years later, the chances of hearing a track from this album - or anything like it - on mainstream radio are about as high as seeing Lord Lucan gallop home on Shergar to win the Grand National, buy armour without prescription. It's no surprise that Don himself is so frustrated by the current music industry that he's talking of quitting (click here for Radiocafé's interview with Don), armour overnight shipping.

The point is a sharp but simple one: mainstream radio falls way short of the mark. In an era when every music taste should have a slice of the airwave cake, Armour no online prescription, an influential minority seems to have all the radio gateaux for itself, and it sure ain't made up of the vinyl junkies or rare groovers or the acid house trippers so well catered for by the much needed street-radio of 1986. It's a fact, our radio is controlled by the music industry equivalent of Krispy Kreme, armour online without a prescription, with no place for the small, local bakery which would, if given the chance, produce something exceedingly good.

Overpaid, musically retarded dick-jokeys fill our airwaves with idiotic drivel

We badly need to maintain and nurture the true, home-baked talent, which is why street-radio has a place now more than ever. Perhaps certain negative factors and characters have blurred the street-radio scene a little in recent times; but there are those who continue to give their time and effort to an utterly worthy cause, for listeners who simply have nowhere else to turn.

Radio for the people, by the people.
