What would be a good idea for POTP, as the BBC have used archive audio from an amateur BBC Top 40 recordings collector before for documentaries, and credited him also.
As I Know a lot about sound editing and feel I could do this myself, and I'm sure the BBC Producers are even better than me at audio editing is get an archive edition of the BBC top 40 from the week in the year featured.
Then turn it in to radio 2 for broadcast, editing out any mention of BBC Radio 1 from recording and the jingles and make it all BBC Radio 2, I would be able to do this myself, edit the Top 40 presenters sentence where he says BBC radio 1 to him saying BBC radio 2 (1fm maybe a bit tricky)
Then chose the selected tracks to be played and edit the old recording to suit what need to be played, I would be able with my editing skills be able to to something like this myself.
This will really take listeners back to the year featured.

Well Claudia Winkelman has now gone and its now guest presenters until Romesh Rangenathan takes over. Im so loving Gary Davies on pick of the pops, so i hope they do the right decision by giving the show to Gary. Im sure Steve Wright would have said Yes. For me Gary Davies is the new saviour of Radio 2 Amazing that Gary only presented the Sunday Top 40 on Radio 1 only once. Having revealed the chart many years on his Tuesday show. Sunday 6th September 1987 covering for Bruno Brookes.

So who will takeover the show now? If they stay in house, i think Gary Davies is a good candidate, maybe Scott Mills. Personally i'd like to see Bruno Brookes do it. Short term Gary Davies seems the obvious contender ... certainly for an interim period as he is Radio 2's go to safe pair of hands/first off the subs bench which (Mark Goodier; Richard Allinson; etc) did so well.
Unless they bring someone in from outside the current Radio 2 spectrum.
But longer term; especially knowing R2 Head Helen Thomas mindset; then it might be a good place for Greg James to dip his toes into Radio 2 land.
Gary is by the looks of it for 1 week I can see. www.bbc.co.uk/schedules/p00fzl8v/2024/02/17

The Pretenders - 2000 Miles Yeah it's a bit sappy but I love everything about it, the fade-in, that main riff and the way she sings 'it felt like Christmas time'. Just love it. Unironically my favourite Pretenders song. I recently got the 7 inch single of this, with picture sleeve also, 40 years old still in good condition.

If i was out mooching the second hand shops for a 7" of Black Box Ride On Time how would i know what version it is. Did they slightly change the cat number for the re release or just add the words remix after it. Also the same question to Marrs Pump Up The Volume. And again also to Wet Wet Wet Sweet Litle Mystery. Not sure myself. But I purchased a few joblots off of ebay and found out by just playing the song, I was surprised when I played the marrs song when 2 thirds in it was the original version with roadblock sample in

I bought the original 7" of 'Pump Up The Volume', before SAW got their injunction. I also bought the original version of 'Ride On Time' by Black Box which features sampled vocals, voiced by Loleatta Hathaway. She objected to the unauthorised use of her vocals and this led to the vocals being re-recorded by a session singer (said to be Heather Small in pre M People days). The original version was replaced by this new version while the record was at number 1. The re-recorded version is totally inferior, the vocals sound very poor compared to Loleatta's. Digistised it and I have it to play on my radio show this coming Sunday. I Digitise as radio studios are too digital nowadays, so easier less trouble to play a digital file or off of disc, but still gets some vinyl vibe off of it.

Anyone recently, or ever purchased some music that has songs that were original versions pre being changed for legal reasons.
Recently I got a few 7 inch single joblots.
I have the original of Wet Wet Wet - Sweet Little Mystery, it is the version before this happened.
From Wikipedia
In the years following the song's release, the Wets endured widespread criticism, acquiring the reputation of being "the Scottish pop robbers", for using lyrics from Van Morrison's "A Sense of Wonder".[15] Morrison sued the band for copyright infringement and claimed a co-writer's credit on the song.[16] Whilst Morrison sued the band, lead singer Marti Pellow stated they used two lines from "A Sense of Wonder" "to pay homage to him – Van the Man was a big influence on us".[17] The band also shares co-writing credit for "Sweet Little Mystery" with British singer John Martyn, as their choruses share similarities.
I know the version on Now 10 is Changed to the new lyrics
Today Digitising Pump Up The Volume - MARRS 7 inch, it is the version before this happened.
As the record climbed the charts, the single ran into legal difficulties. With "Pump Up the Volume" standing at number two, an injunction was obtained against it by pop music producers Stock Aitken Waterman (SAW), who objected to the use of a sample from their hit single "Roadblock". Distribution was held up for several days while negotiations took place, and the result was that overseas releases would not include the "Roadblock" sample.
The version on Now 10 is the changed version without the above sample from roadblock.
Anyone else got music recently with versions before a legal forced change, and also anyone can think of other songs that had to be changed for legal reasons
Surprising those were still available to buy in 2022.
