Wednesday Morning 6Am: Radio Hits From the Small – Wednesday Morning 6AM: Radio Hits From The Small Hours 1970-1983 / Various

Double vinyl LP pressing. Bob Stanley's latest compilation Wednesday Morning 6am" literally turns back the clocks. In the late 70s and early 80s, there was a parallel world of hits that people only heard when their clock radio went off. BBC Radio 2 had little time for the Top 40 music played by Radio 1 and beamed into living rooms by Top Of The Pops. Radio 2 effectively created a chart of it's own playing singles or album tracks that their DJs enjoyed and wanted to share with their listeners. These tracks were given multiple plays on rotation and became earworms for millions of listeners. "Wednesday Morning 6am" is the warming soundtrack of eating breakfast or driving to school or to work in the cold and dark early hours to the sound of Art Garfunkel's '99 Miles From LA', Dolly Parton's 'The Bargain Store', Hoyt Axton's 'Evangelina', Paul Simon's 'Train In The Distance' and Air Supply's 'Lost In Love'. Other featured artists include Gilbert O'Sullivan, Crystal Gayle, Carly Simon, John Denver, Lou Rawls, Lindisfarne, Bob James, Stella Parton and Dionne Warwick. The 2-LP version includes the bonus track 'Danny's Song' by Anne Murray."
