29. (19) Bjork It's Oh So Quiet
60. (48) The Beatles Free As A Bird
81. (77) Robert Miles Children
At any rate, there are tracks here that surely wouldn't have been where
they are without the box, and some that wouldn't even have existed.
Apart from the fact that it's 25 years ago, the most topical element is probably the song title at 92, and the band name at 17.
Bit odd to have 3T at 4 and a song called "Born In 69" at 68.

1.-a (NE) Babylon Zoo Spaceman
Very innovative and several different versions.-a Atlantic 252 played one that was 'fast' all the way through a lot.
Was gutted I couldn't get that station when I moved to Norfolk later in
96. Broadland 102 wasn't quite the same.
67. (45) Skee-Lo I Wish
Not a rap fan but liked this at the time, witty and very likeable

Yes, reception of Atlantic 252 was patchy. If I recall I couldn't pick
it up when I was living in London when the station started broadcasting
but when I went to the north east for a weekend I could pick it up
without any problem. I can't remember if I ever did pick it up in London
as I bought a new radio cassettte player in late 1989 and it didn't have long wave.

I was going to say, the radio in my room and the stereo in the living
room didn't have longwave, I think I'd have had to sit in my Mum's car
to pick up Atlantic 252 even if there was a signal round here.
I do remember some of the kids at my school talking about it and they wouldn't have lived any further North-East than Hertfordshire.

I've done some searching on Google and it appears that parts of the
south east including parts of London did have problems with reception in
the early days until the kw output was hiked up. When the station
launched on 1 September 1989 I was living in Wembley so not too far from
you (I lived in the Preston Road area so pretty close to where you would have been living I believe) but maybe it was a dead spot for good
reception. By the early 90s it looks like the reception was much better.
And surprisingly for a long wave station its audience reach in the UK
was almost 4 million.

10.-a (4) Baby D So Pure
Liked the group but not one of their better efforts.
14. (NE) Shed Seven Getting Better
See 10.
17. (16) The Presidents Of The United States Of America Lump
Clever and imaginative unlike most of their work...
34. (22) Levellers Just The One
Could play this on bass at one time
35. (27) Pulp Disco 2000
One of my all time favourite songs.-a Magnificent video.-a Also had a
thing for a girl called Deborah at the time.
Bought my partner a signed sleeve of this for her 40th
37. (26) The Mike Flowers Pops Wonderwall
Loved this, the only one of my friendship group to do so (maybe the only
one who got the joke)
Seemed to tie in very nicely with the era of Alan Partridge and taking
the mick out of the 70s.
Watched the first series of Partridge with my parents, I was about 16,
they late 40s.-a I don't think either of them cracked a smile once.-a I
was rolling...
38. (28) Dubstar Not So Manic Now
Good lyrics, the monotony of the tower block.-a Wonder if she'd spent
time in lockdown...
60. (48) The Beatles Free As A Bird
One of the more disappointing comebacks of the 90s.
Thought Real Love
was the stronger song.

I hope Deborah wasn't jealous, etc.

I was never sure why they started in the middle of the song. Maybe the
first verse didn't suit the style.
Seemed to tie in very nicely with the era of Alan Partridge and taking

There was a semi-ironic revival of easy-listening music in the 90s too, of course.

My parents would have been early 40s at this point so that whole style/era of comedy was what we've always had in common. We always used to watch
KYTV and stuff like that so Partridge was a step on from there.

Hadn't heard anything of her since about 98 - until October, when her
Mum (an old colleague of my Mum) couldn't come to my Mum's funeral - for
the very valid reason that she was in the Caribbean at Deb's wedding!

Mine were about a decade older and thought comedy was all downhill from
the 70s legends.
