Talk:Wonderful Radio London

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I am creating this page while updating and expanding the entry for "Pirate Radio". In 1984 I interviewed Don Pierson for a radio broadcast and some of this material has now been published with my cooperation by Sibiu University Press under the authorship of Dr. Eric Gilder. I will be drawing upon this material and my lasting friendship with Don Pierson who turned over to me all of his official records concerning the creation of Wonderful Radio London and his other offshore radio stations: "Swinging Radio England" and "Britain Radio". I will also be creating page entries for these stations as time permits and linking them all through the "Pirate Radio" entry. MPLX/MH 21:30, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Why I removed the following item to this page

The Wonderful Radio London Story (Jumbo Records, UK, 1997) is a 3-CD audio documentary comprising narration, interviews and clips from programmes. It is now out of print but may be available secondhand.

This is a contested copyright issue. Please see the external link: http://radlon.bravehost.com/index.html

However, the contributor is in the legal position of being able to contribute this information from its original source, not the source cited above, due to the fact that some of the contested material - especially the exclusive interview with Don Pierson and a lot of documented material about the origin of the station, comes from Don Pierson archives in the legal possession of the contributor to this article and this is one reason why this information is now being made available for everyone by these contributions to "Wonderful Wiki"! By the way, I am also in the process of creating a Don Pierson biography on Wikipedia. I have not had time to complete it as of this date. MPLX/MH 00:32, 1 Oct 2004 (UTC)
