| As I have said before, we are very lucky in London as we have a good choice of underground Seventies soul, funk, disco and jazz on the airwaves, as well as the usual commercial disco music. :grin: The list you mentioned is fairly typical of commencial radio stations, but there are some goood tunes in there!!  Whispers And the beat goes on Odyssey Going back to my roots (though I have just picked up the Lamont Dozier original) O'Jays Now that we found love Indeep Last night a DJ saved my life Dennis Edwards Don't look any further - now that is quality!!! But as for Eurythmics, Kylie, Tom Jones etc ...:sad: _________________ It's got to be about the music !! <font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: jazz_pilgrim on 2002-08-23 09:07 ]</font> <font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: jazz_pilgrim on 2002-08-23 09:12 ]</font> |

As far as the HOT 107: Don't remember if I ever heard #34....Hated #46 and anything by Paula Abdul....and Billie Jean - #1 ?????? Classic Disco? One of the reasons I really didn't care for 1983 was too much M.J. saturation....that song was way overrated, IMHO.

| Hmm. there'e some oddities in there! Two local stations play disco broadcasting to my area. Wave 105 FM Saturday night 6-12 - The glitz mix mostly commercial disco but with the odd gem here and there. I'm thinking of trying to get a 20 minute megamix type of spot, 'cos i have 1000s of Disco 12". Wonder if they'd go for it? Capital Gold AM station - heard about 1 minute of it once so don't really know any more. Sadly I cannot pick up any of the London stations. |

| Sutnop, The best radio show in London is on Jazz Fm on Friday nights from 10pm through to 1pm, with a DJ who was very well known in London in the Seventies. The format is: first hour - jazz, second hour - get down and boogie, third hour - soulful side Thought you might be interested, so on Friday I wrote down what Greg Edwards played on his show. Gives you an idea of some of the music available on the airways in London... I only got the first two hours - I intended to record the third hour but must have forgotten to press the record button ... First hour - Jazz TANIA MARIA - Come With Me WEATHER REPORT - Birdland HIROSHI FUKUMARA - Hunt Up Wind AZYMUTH - Jazz Carnival EDDIE HENDERSON - Prance On GEORGE DUKE - Brazilian Love Affair DONALD BYRD - Love Has Come Around HERBIE MANN - Hijack Second hour - get down and boogie stuff MAZE - Back In Stride Again RICK JAMES - Glow CHANTAL CURTIS - Get Another Love OLIVER CHEATHAM - Get Down Saturday Night (7") JACKSONS - Shake Your Body Down To The Ground (remix) GEORGE BENSON - Give Me The NIght FUNKADELIC - One Nation Under A Groove SHALAMAR - There It Is GQ - Disco Nights (Rock Freak) Not bad at all, especially the jazz hour!! :grin: <font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: jazz_pilgrim on 2002-08-25 14:18 ]</font> |

| A lot of these songs get a good flogging on Australian retro radio over in my area especially "Stayin' Alive" by the Bee Gees. Anyhow I like most of these songs except a few and they aren't from the disco era either. And some of the ones I don't listen too much even though I like them is because retro radio in my area has belted the shit out of them. Speaking of ABBA, in Australia in the 70's especially 1976 it was ABBA FEVER!!! My mother told me that back then she was listening to radio the little teeny boppers were constantly requesting ABBA!!! ABBA!!! ABBA!!! ABBA!!! ABBA!!! ABBA!!! ABBA!!! ABBA!!! ABBA!!! ABBA!!! ABBA!!! ABBA!!! ABBA!!! ABBA!!! ABBA!!! ABBA!!! ABBA!!! ABBA!!! ABBA!!! ABBA!!! ABBA!!! ABBA!!! ABBA!!! ABBA!!! ABBA!!! ABBA!!! ABBA!!! ABBA!!! ABBA!!! ABBA!!! ABBA!!! ABBA!!! ABBA!!! ABBA!!! ABBA!!! ABBA!!! ABBA!!! ABBA!!! ABBA!!! ABBA!!! ABBA!!! ABBA!!! ABBA!!! ABBA!!! ABBA!!! ABBA!!! ABBA!!! ABBA!!! ABBA!!! ABBA!!! ABBA!!! ABBA!!! ABBA!!! ABBA!!! ABBA!!! ABBA!!! My mother got so sick of them. And also I heard that on the Aussie TV pop show "Countdown" in 1976 "Finando" was at No.1 for so many weeks that they got sick of showing the clip so they stopped playing the clip despite it was still No.1 and played something else. They did the same thing in 1979 with Patrick Hernandez's "Born To Be Alive". Even today on retro radio I hear ABBA a lot, I don't mind ABBA but they just get played too much and when music is played too much you sort of get less interested in them. I've got a lot of Top Of The Pops episodes on video and as it seems UK was also struck by ABBA fever and "Finando" was at No.1 for weeks in 1976 and they showed the clip on Top Of The Pops for weeks too :lol: .
