It may sound incredible to our modern ears, but there was a time, with its heyday in the late 1950s to 1960s, when the seas about Europe were speckled with converted mine-sweepers, liberty ships, fishing trawlers and even abandoned anti-aircraft installations that were topped with radio antennae and bore a bevy of true-believer deejays with the common mission of bringing to the peoples of Western Europe the music of the day's youth, in exactly the same manner that the Voice of America was broadcasting to the peoples of Eastern Europe. At the time, even the liberal democracies of Europe had rigid playlists and content policies that prevented many of their listening audience, especially the kids amongst them, from hearing the music they wanted to hear or to hear it whenever they wanted. Starting variously around the Vik, and especially off the coast of Holland, where there were broadcasts emanating from houseboats with signals that sometimes covered only a single town or city, soon inspired enthusiasts and corporate ventures alike took to the seas to broadcast content that the red tape and institutional resistance of state sponsored ventures like the BBC wouldn't permit, but which entrepreneurs whose commercial use of that content made a viable business venture out of it would.

VOLUME ONE: "WONDERFUL RADIO LONDON"
The U.K.'s Most Popular Top 40 Station Of The Swinging '60's! Over 55 Hours Packed Into 134 MP3s On 1 DVD!

Many from outside of Europe who are familiar with the music of the 1960s may know that the rock group "The Who" released an album in 1967 entitled "The Who Sell Out", considered by many to be rock's first true "concept album", and centered around the broadcast format of a individual commercial radio station. With pop songs (performed by "The Who") which made up their playlist, punctuated with advertisements for various products targeting young people filling in the space between, the station is identified by various "jingles" throughout the album as "Wonderful Radio London". What many non-Europeans may not know is that this was a real radio station and these were its actual jingles. Forced off the air by an act of Parliament during the "Summer of Love" of 1967, this album served both as an epitaph for a truly great station and for the end of the cultural phenomenon that were "The Pirates" of U.K. radio.

VOLUME TWO: RADIO CAROLINE
The Very First Of The U.K.'s Pirate Top 40 Stations Playing Your Favorite Hits Of The Swinging '60's! Over 97 Hours Packed Into 222 MP3s On 1 DVD!

On Easter Sunday, March 28, 1964, beginning with the words "This is Radio Caroline on 199, your all day music station!" segued to the strains of the Rolling Stones' "Not Fade Away", the hey-day of U.K. pirate radio was born. The station was named after the daughter of America's first president of Irish ancestry, Caroline Kennedy, by its owner, the Irish entrepreneur Ronan O'Rahilly, who prior to this venture had briefly managed the Rolling Stones and Georgie Fame, and suggested the band name for his proteges The Animals (he was to briefly manage the Beatles in later years as well). Having seen a photograph of Caroline gaily dancing about the White House's Oval Office in sharp contrast to the office's gravitas and tradition, he felt that this was what he wanted his station to be in the face of the staid broadcasting standards of the day. Hoisted to instant popularity by a galaxy of deejay stars including radio greats "Murph The Surf" Jim Murphy, Jack Spector of WMCA New York fame, The Great Emperor Rosko, Tony Blackburn, Don Allen, Johnny Walker, Keith Hampshire & more, the station set the standards by which all later U.K. pirates were judged. They also uniquely chose to continue broadcasting after the Marine Offences Bill of 1967 criminalized their enterprise, and continued to do so for decades -- and even now, Radio Caroline still broadcasts, but via satellite, while tied to or traveling between its various moorings on the Thames river.

DISC TWO

VOLUME THREE: RNI RADIO NORDSEE INTERNATIONAL
The 1970-74 Pirate That Defied Jamming, Hijacking And Firebombing To Give Airplay To The Music Of The Day! Over 121 Hours Packed Into 159 MP3ss on 1 DVD!

In the summer of 1973, I spent an afternoon "DX-ing", which is the tuning in to the otherwise staticy space between local radio stations and turning up the volume in order to hear weak and distant signals. With a little patience and a little time one would eventually find something interesting - a country music station way out west from our home in Edison, New Jersey, exciting popular music stations from up and down the U.S. east coast, and always and ever, southern bible-belt preachers. This afternoon, however, one could hear with very little difficulty at all "This is Radio Nordsee International" - a station clear across the world! The announcer explained that they were broadcasting from a ship in the North Sea and solicited his audience to call or write Radio Nordsee to let them know if they were picking up their signal - and then went on to say that to their great surprise they were getting telephone calls at their main office in Switzerland from the United States saying that they were being listened to from there at that very moment. I couldn't believe it - a station on a ship in a foreign sea was reporting that Americans were listening to them half a world away, and here I was one of those very listeners hearing about it! Could this really be real? I asked my Dad about it later, a man of some experience with radio himself, and he said, it sounded cooked up, probably some local yokels fooling around with a transmitter. It wasn't until 30 years later when I heard these recordings that I learned how very real and genuine that entire experience was - as will you when you are asked if you can hear the signal of Radio Nordsee International from their ship upon the 1970s North Sea - and if the spectacles of multi-government jamming, the attempted high-seas piracy of the ship by business executive Kees Manders or the firebombing attack waged against them by competitor Radio Veronica doesn't entice you to listen herein for all the details, what possibly could?!? You won't regret the decision to "DX" in!

VOLUME FOUR: THE OTHER UK PIRATES
Britain Radio/Radio 227/Radio 270/Radio 355/Radio 390/Radio Atlanta/Radio City/Radio Essex/Radio Hauraki/Radio Invicta/Radio Nord/Radio Scotland/Radio Sutch & Swinging Radio England - Over 90 Hours Packed Into 190 MP3s On 1 DVD! 20 Broadcasts & Jingles of Radio Britain; 1 of Radio 227; 8 of Radio 270; 9 of Radio 355; 43 of Radio 390, 2 of Radio Atlanta; 21 of Radio City; 1 of Radio Essex; 1 of Radio Hauraki; 1 of Radio Invicta; 1 of Radio Nord; 3 of Radio Scotland; 2 of Radio Sutch & 78 of Swinging Radio England!

Taking his cue from the success of Radio Caroline, the legendary founder of the UK's Monster Raving Loony Party, David "Screaming" Lord Sutch, pioneered the nation's pirate "radio fort" phenomenon when he took over the World War II anti-aircraft army fort at Shivering Sands in the midst of the Thames estuary in May of 1964 and began broadcasting the rock & roll hits of the day. The British Navy really didn't like it, and turned up in force once off the Shivering Sands fort in an effort to scare him & his compatriots off. It didn't work, and soon all the remaining UK maritime army forts were taken over and pressed into service as privatized unregulated radio stations. Meanwhile, entrepreneurs and true believers in this kind of radio were taking to the sea in numbers about the island nation, and soon even the Americans, seeing big dollar signs, sent their own Britain Radio & Swinging Radio England in the same ship across the pond to get a piece of the commercial action. This time in the history of radio broadcast was heady and epic, surely the most unusual and interesting passage in the entire history of commercial radio, and this MP3 DVD serves as a testament to these wild & wonderful days that were the UK pirates.

Offshore Radio is radio broadcasting from ships or fixed maritime structures. Offshore broadcasters are usually unlicensed but transmissions are legal in international waters. This is in contrast to unlicensed broadcasting on land or within a nation's territorial waters, which is usually unlawful. The claimed first wireless broadcast of music and speech for the purpose of entertainment was transmitted from a Royal Navy craft, HMS Andromeda, in 1907. The broadcast was organized by a Lieutenant Quentin Crauford using the callsign QFP while the ship was anchored off Chatham in the Thames Estuary, England. However, the majority of offshore broadcasters have been unlicensed stations using seaborne broadcasting as a means to circumvent national broadcasting regulations, for example the practice has been used by broadcasting organizations like the Voice of America as a means of circumventing national broadcasting regulations of other nations. Unlicensed offshore commercial stations have operated off the coasts of Belgium, Denmark, Israel, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Sweden, The United Kingdom, Yugoslavia and the United States. By the late 1920s, the "UK government concluded that radio was such a powerful means of mass communication that it would have to be in state control", and gave the publicly funded BBC a monopoly on broadcasting. Because of rigid governmental controls and programming mostly consisting of serious music and highbrow issues, much of the UK population began to turn to radio stations from abroad, such as Radio Lyon, Radio Normandy, Radio Athlone, Radio Mediterranee and Radio Luxembourg, especially on Sundays, when the BBC did not carry any entertainment programmes. However, English-speaking broadcast hours were limited and parts of the UK were unable to receive most stations properly during the daytime. The earliest attempt to establish an offshore broadcaster in England occurred in 1928, when Associated Newspapers (owners of the Daily Mail) acquired the yacht Ceto and installed radio equipment. Unfortunately, the apparatus could not operate properly on board, the signal being heavily affected by the climate conditions. The transmitter was then replaced by Siemens loudspeakers and the Ceto toured England "broadcasting" gramophone records interspersed by advertising. Unauthorized offshore broadcasting stations operating from ships or fixed platforms in the coastal waters of the North Sea first appeared in 1958. There were as many as eleven such stations in the mid-1960s. One of the most popular offshore radio broadcasts in Europe came from Radio Caroline, which developed out both of the strict broadcasting regulations in England in the 1960s as well as the fact the major labels had left little to no airtime to less established acts. The Radio Caroline name was used to broadcast from international waters, using five different ships of three different owners, from 1964 to 1990. Radio Caroline was the brainchild of Ronan O'Rahilly, who dreamed up a way to air music by "unestablished" rock and roll artists Other well-known stations of the period were Radio Atlanta, Radio London, Radio 270 (broadcasting of the coast of Filey, Yorkshire) Radio 390, Radio Scotland, Radio Northsea International and Radio City. Most offshore broadcast is usually associated with European unlicensed radio stations; the trend never caught on as much in the United States as most organizations that could afford an offshore broadcasting boat would instead buy a legal station. Still, there were a few American offshore stations that made a lasting impression. The first station to broadcast in the U.S. from international waters was RXKR off of the coast of California. and broadcast from May 1933 until August 1933. It was operated from a cargo carrier named the S.S. City of Panama, a ship that was actually supposed to be advertising tourism in Panama to Americans from California. The operators of the ship actually broadcast popular music and advertisements, fooling the Panamanian government and eventually being shut down at the request of the U.S. Department of State. Unlicensed Radio and TV Noordzee since August 1964 used REM island offshore platform for broadcasting aimed at the Netherlands. On December 12, 1964, a law, which split the North Sea into continental sections was passed in the Netherlands. The sea bed under REM Island, to which the structure was attached, was declared Dutch territory. Five days later, Dutch Marines boarded the platform and ended the broadcasting. The Council of Europe in 1965 passed the "European Agreement for the Prevention of Broadcasts transmitted from Stations outside National Territories" to address this loophole, although some member states were slow to implement this in national law. Radio broadcasts from ships that are unauthorized under the laws of the recipient may cause radio frequencies to be unusable. This can be potentially detrimental to certain emergency and security services. The 1965 agreement was an attempt to resolve this by treaty. In 1967, the UK Government enacted the Marine, &c., Broadcasting (Offences) Act 1967, outlawing advertising on or supplying an unlicensed offshore radio station from the UK. Several other European countries passed similar legislation.
