Description
SECONDHAND BOOK
3LO has been a part of Melbourne for 75 years – from crystal set to Walkman. Radio has grown, styles have changed, but 3LO people have become part of Melbourne’s consciousness. From its first days it has maintained its particular mixture of entertainment and information, education and escapism. The Sound of Melbourne tells the story of 3LO down the decades, in a wonderful archive of pictures and lively words – memories and mad moments, articles and anecdotes, even the odd poem.
The Sound of Melbourne witnesses the changing face of radio, and the city of Melbourne, and reintroduces some old friends – such as Mary Mary, the Muddle-Headed Wombat, Jim Davidson’s Dance Band, Mac and Jimmy, Professor Heinze and Dr Floyd, The Lawsons, Peter Evans and Russ Tyson, Arch McKirdy and Ralphe Rickman, John West and Clive Stark, Richard Combe and Mary Adams, Terry Lane and Doug Aiton, Elaine Canty and Gael Jennings, and all of the 1999 ‘line-up’.
Sit back, relax, and enjoy The Sound of Melbourne.
