There is quite a bit of teamwork involved in this project involving the guys on The Caroline Mailing List.

First Tony Friend pieced together the surviving copies of the Fab 40 (6 August 1967) and edited it to an almost complete file. Then I started the process of remastering the show. The tracks weren't easy to find I can tell you. But with the help of Mark Robinson, Theo Bakker and Tony, we were able to obtain copies of the whole Fab 40, climbers, and disc of the week.

The first hour is a bit of a guesstimate, as only 31 minutes were available to work with. With the help of Ray Robinson however, we concluded that this finished version would be as close as we could get to the original broadcast. It can be hard to follow, so the complete chart is here:

Hours two and three are complete, and there's a clip of the Mark Roman show as a bonus.

So sit back and enjoy this labour of love, and a wonderful piece of history. The BigL has never sounded so good.
