Radio Caroline
(This is the fourth of a weekly series of flashback photos. I apologise in advance for the inevitable poor quality. This one is scanned from a rather faded 35mm slide).
My 1985 photo shows Radio Caroline's last ever offshore radio vessel "Ross Revenge" anchored some miles off Felixstowe, Suffolk and being approached by an 'illegal' tender. Using a massive 300' (90 metre) tower and with a transmitter capable of 50kw, the 'new' Radio Caroline introduced the concept of an all-day album station to Britain and Europe. Of many Caroline Classics, this is one that has not previously featured on The Jukebox.
The lawyers got to the first video within days. So here is a replacement!
BITH'S JUKEBOX #207
BOB DYLAN "HURRICANE"

EDIT : YOU CAN HAVE YER COIN BACK. EVERY TIME THIS TRACK GETS POSTED DYLAN'S LAWYERS GO APESHIT.
