Radio Caroline
Radio Caroline is the world’s most famous offshore radio station. It began in 1964, has used five different ships and once had over 20m listeners. The station was responsible for many innovations in music radio and was Britain’s first all day music station, its first album station, and helped launch the careers of many major music stars. Caroline’s last radio ship is the Ross Revenge moored on an Essex river and broadcasts on medium wave, DAB and online.

Anorak?
In the Radio Caroline Bible, you can read how the term 'anorak' first came about, in early 1973, who first coined the expression and what it replaced. It all happened on board the good ship Mi Amigo, the home of Radio Caroline, until she sank in 1980. And which member of the Royal Family confessed to being an Anorak?

from happy readers
Bob Huckin Nottinghamshire
A totally riveting read which is very hard to put down. If you have any interest at all in offshore radio, this is a must buy. A truly excellent book. Still working my way through this. It can't be rushed. Amazing value can be added to the list of attributes, alongside absorbing,incredibly interesting and an absolute fount of knowledge. This book is a winner. Well done Paul.
Ines (Ronan's girlfriend)
Ronan and I were happy to read the book. It has lots of memories for him and when we read some pages he smiled a lot. We both like the professional way that the story is told.
Robert Deejay Clancy (Guernsey)
My hard back copy arrived today and I'm blown away by the new details I have read in it. An exvcellent presentation, and all told in the right order, date-wise. It's a great job you have done Paul.
Don Stevens (DJ on Caroline, VoP and many more)
An excellent book, just started reading my copy today, and it is written in a fresh and fast moving style. Like a Holy Bible, it delves into the very start of the radio medium. The genesis.
Honestly, if you have friends and family who never understood what made you join a pirate radio ship, this book will explain it all, so, it's an ideal Christmas present for them. Even if you have worked in the industry, this book has lots of nuggets of information that make sense of much of what made Caroline such a great station. It's a real page turner, like a thriller.
Paul Newman Radio Mi Amigo
Looking for an early Christmas present? This is the very thing for you. It's a brilliant insight into Radio Caroline, Mi Amigo and many of the other offshore stations. Buy it for yourself for Christmas, I guarantee you'll really enjoy it!
Martin Davies
I have the hardback copy which binding wise is really excellent. I have lots of books on Caroline but this one has lots of information that is new to me. I can't put it down. It is a great book.Lots of facts I have not seen in other books on the subject.

The content is worth reading. All in here is excellent. Its truly is a great book, I can assure you. A good listener listens to Radio Caroline and reads this book. There are no mistakes here, it is all factual. I would say; order this book, take advantage of it, when you want to rig an offshore station , or want to know how it worked and what not, I would recommend this book; the best one about Radio Caroline that I have seen.
