1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:02,520
Speaker 1: Well, well, well, leased you know what dated is, don't you.

2
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 1: It's our birthday, It's the eighth of August. It is

3
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:09,320
Speaker 1: ninety six of MP tunes forty three today. Is that incredible?

4
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 2: And it's not like the memories fading yet of that

5
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:17,320
Speaker 2: day in nineteen eighty August nineteen eighty when FM switched

6
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 2: on for the first time in this town, and.

7
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 1: It was it was very different, let's be honest. Not

8
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 1: only was it on the FM band, but also it

9
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 1: was a lot of it, a lot of album rock.

10
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 1: All of a sudden you heard the likes of Neil

11
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 1: Young and some of the new bands at the time,

12
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: like the Cars and Blonding all out in FM stereo.

13
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean absolutely that. It was all about albums.

14
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 2: We talked earlier today to Stuart Coop, you know, and

15
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 2: he was all about albums. His new book was called

16
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 2: Shake Some Action. It was about the albums. It was

17
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:47,160
Speaker 2: about the music for headphones, it was about embracing the

18
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 2: album tracks. But for me, it was really it was

19
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 2: always going to be about that difference in quality. It

20
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 2: was going to be about going from listening to the

21
00:00:56,160 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 2: AM transistor radio to flicking it onto ninety six FM,

22
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 2: and that deep, real.

23
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: Sound stereo and for me, being the teenage music and

24
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: radio fanboy, I would switch on the radio in the morning.

25
