“Please pass on my best wishes to Bob - he was an inspiration back then and continues to be. The playlist from September 17th 1973 is special because I was just thirteen at the time and always used to listen to Bob's programme on the radio even though my parents thought I was fast asleep; it being a school night! This particular broadcast was eagerly anticipated at the time because I absolutely loved Thin Lizzy and I couldn't wait to hear their session. For a number of years I kept a recording of the whole show on a reel-to-reel tape (sadly long gone) so to see Bob's handwritten notes alongside the music featured during the broadcast is a real thrill and all makes complete sense. Reading the playlist has reminded me that this is when I heard "Time of the Season" by the Zombies for the first time and also how much fun I thought Ducks Deluxe were.

So am I happy with it? You bet! Absolutely delighted to own a piece of history and it's something I'll always cherish.”
