REGRESSION MIX 021

 

LISTEN HERE   

Hello. Listen carefully! I am going to take you back. Back to November 1978, when the 'Times' disappeared from the newstands over a labour problem, Dominica gained its independence from the UK, Indira Ghandi was re-elected to the Indian Parliament and Viv Anderson becomes England's first black international footballer. America lost Norman Rockwell and Harvey Milk. Richard Burton, Roger Moore and Richard Harris all star in the film 'The Wild Geese' whilst the soundtrack to 'Grease' remains at the top of the album chart for the entire month. Paul Young makes his debut in the singles chart with his band Streetband and XTC release their second album 'Go2'. Wendy Craig makes her welcome return to TV in the hit comedy by Carla Lane 'Butterflies' and Tommy Vance introduces a new radio programme 'The Friday Rock Show' . All those memories, feelings and long past moments which made you who you are today. Now take a deep breath and let’s begin…
