A selection of songs that would have been on popular music radio in the heyday of AM broadcasting, starting with the pirate radio stations such as Radio Caroline and Radio London in the mid 1960s, along with Radio Luxembourg's English language service, and then running through early Radio 1 until FM took over in the late 1980s.
