Rare reel to reel recording tapes (27) including Radio Atlanta original broadcast recordings (1964) and a reel to reel 8 track player with instructions. The collection formally belonged to Clive Burrel, who was a disc jockey on the station in 1964 and it includes a unique archive of recordings from his show on Radio Atlanta as well as other shows, music collections and demos. The recordings from the show are studio quality and many also have typed transmission tracklists from the show ('Daily Record Of Musical Items') detailing tracks, artists, composers and publishers. Radio Atlanta, named after Atlanta, Texas, was an offshore commercial station that operated briefly from 12 May 1964 to 2 July 1964 from a ship anchored in the North Sea, off Frinton-on-Sea, Essex. The radio broadcasting vessel was owned, at that time, by Gordon McLendon and Clint Murchison. While the station was dubbed as a pirate radio station, its actual operation took place within the laws of the day and its offices were located in Soho, London. The majority of Radio Atlanta's programmes were pre-recorded in London and sent out to the ship for transmission on the same day or the next. The station merged with Radio Caroline in 1964 to become Radio Caroline South at which time Clive Burrel resigned.
