BEBU SILVETTE LLUVIA DE PRIMAVERA

This rare 45rpm vinyl single was used on Radio Caroline in the 1970's, as a backing track for various announcements/commercials, remember it ?. It was called Lluvia de Primavera by Bebu Silvetti (1975), and was also known as Spring Rain. There was a cover version by a group called Inner City Express, which used the latter track name. I can remember this being played  about 6 pm when Dutch Caroline changed over to English programs

GUITAR HOLIDAY - A 45 r.p.m single by Oasis (no - not that group from Manchester !) - a group from somewhere in Europe. This record was used on Radio Mi Amigo 272 mtrs medium wave, after they split from Radio Caroline. They acquired their own vessel, M.V Magdalena, and broadcast for a short while in 1979. Guitar Holiday was used on opening and closure of transmissions each day, and was used extensively to advertise the fact that the station was to begin broadcasting in that year. Sadly, the station's life was to be a short one, as the vessel ran aground in heavy seas. The authorities seized the M.V Magdalena and it's crew - the station was never heard of again. The "B" side of the single, "EILEEN", was also quite often featured on the station.
