Does anyone have recordings of any of Fluff's "Pick Of The Pops" shows circa 1989??? I used to listen and record avidly but only tape the songs.... all these years later I wish I had kept all the banter/jingles etc too! I would also like some complete Mark Goodier R1 top forty's from the glorious summers of 95 & 96.........

If it's the same prog as I'm thinking about I have quite a few of these dating to the early/mid 1970's. I recorded them on Sundays (at 5pm I think) when once again R1 would take over R2's FM frequencies. I do wonder in my mind if the records between 40 and 21 were played in hour before but only on AM, then R1 would take over the FM freqs and the records between 20 and 1 went out in glorious stereo. I think Tom Brown presented the one's I have.

I don't think the top 20 show was ever called POTP but I could be wrong. I can confirm though that the records between 40 and 21 were never played at this time and never by Tom Brown, the top 40 show began in late '78 and it wasn't Tom Brown by this time but I can't remember who it was. The first Top 40 show may well have been 29/10/78, I seem to recall the Undertones "Teenage Kicks" being played which was a new entry that week. I also don't remember the top 20 starting at 5pm, it was 6 till 7 if my memory serves me correctly.

The programme was preceeded by 'Sing something simple' with the Cliff Adams singers.

Happy days, the last Official chart PICK OF THE POPS show was on Sunday September 24 on Radio 1. The following week signalled the start of the classic Top 20 show with Tom Browne. This was originally named SOLID GOLD SIXTY. Tom ran the show every week until April 1978 when Simon Bates took over. Simon, along with Paul Burnette and Johnnie Walker had done the odd show before then, to cover whenever Tom went on holiday. This show always ran from 6 till 7 on Sunday teatimes. Then, on Sunday 11 November 1978, the format changed. Simon Bates introduced the TOP 40 show which ran from 5 till 7, and boosted sales of the old C120 blank cassettes ! For the record, that chart had Earth, Wind and Fire at number 40 with Got to get you into my life and at number 1 was John Travolta and Olivia Newton John with Summer Nights. Im not missing very many chart shows from 1972 - 1979 in my collection. Finally transferred them all onto mp3 format. He wasnt everybodies cup of tea, but I always feel Tom Browne was the best presenter of the TOP 20 show ( not including Alan Freemans PICK OF THE POPS shows ) A bit like James Bond. There will in my opinion never be another Connery. Who can ever forget that brilliant intro of Toms every week. " 6 o clock on Radios 1 and 2, my names Tom Browne, and this is the TOP 20 as compiled for the BBC by the British Market Research Bureau " Sunday afternoons just arent the same for todays teenagers !!

Sorry to disagree but Browne wasnt really that good he made lots of mistakes cut a lot of the records short he was lucky to follow Alan Freeman .

He would never be another FLUFF, but I always felt Tom was one of the lads. He had a good rapport with his studio crew. Not afraid to take the p**s out of himself. The perfect voice for TOP 40 Radio. Simon was good but had a problem with ego, in my opinion. I liked his daytime shows, I loved Tony Blackburns shows during the day as I indeed loved Tommy Vances Rock shows , but Sundays always belonged to Tom in the 70s.

Liked Simons presentation on the top 40 but hated Our Tune it was so false.
