ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The author would like to offer his sincere thanks to the following people whose untiring efforts made this book possible. Firstly, Ray Coleman, editor, Mike Ledgerwood, news editor, and Bob Farmer, feature writer, all of Disc, who I worried with queries and requests until they must have been nearly out of their minds. Secondly, the following press officers: Mike Stone (Radio London), Frances von Staden (Radio Caroline), Barry Boardman (Radio England and Britain Radio), Jill Wileman (Radio City), Peter James (Radio 390), Carole Miller (Radio 270), Douglas Carmichael (Radio Scotland), Roy Bates (Radio Essex), Siobhan Dawkins (Radio Luxembourg), Sarah Stoddart (BBC Light Programme), John Grierson (Manx Radio) and Bill Allen (A.F.N.). Thirdly, the picture libraries of Disc, Melody Maker and the BBC who all provided material so generously. Fourthly, the many telephone receptionists who must have got tired of hearing my voice when I was collecting material--but who were always patient, understanding and helpful. And, finally, my wife--as always counsellor, encourager and inspirer. Thanks to you allII hope it has been worth it. Peter Alex. For DICK SHEPPARD -because he might read this one. |
