From a Cossor reel to reel tape recorder. This is a recording of an original UK radio broadcast from August 1963 of Alan Freeman's Pick of the Pops Top 10 countdown of that year and month.
Alan Freeman was brilliant. I was only six in 1963, and I didn't really pick up on him until 1969. Interesting to hear how relatively restrained he was in the early part of the decade. He became more exuberant as he made the programme his own.
