1975 nostalgia

This is my first post on this forum, hopefully this will be of interest.

It's a recording of Radio 1's Sunday Sports program from 7th September 1975. At about 8 minutes in there are a number of reports on the JPL matches that took place that day.

The back story to this is that when I was 11 years old, I used to record the top 20 show on a reel-to-reel tape recorder. I could then listen to it over and over again during the week.

Quite often I'd be called down for dinner before the programme finished so would leave the machine running. On the 7th September 1975, it recorded a good part of Ed Stewart's Sunday Sports programme which I re-discovered about 40 years later.

In addition to the cricket, there are also reports on the Grand Prix, tennis and show jumping that took place that day.

Hope you enjoy it.

I have a few strange random audio tapes. I have the whole of the final session of day 2 of of the 3rd Test at Trent Bridge in 1977. No idea why I recorded it.
