This is the Radio Caroline Story. The story of a youth battle with the British government. The Music that those four years unleashed, still reverberates around the world today. Names such as Jagger, Clapton, Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Jimmy Page, are household names. Radio Caroline opened the floodgates, with 23 million listeners, thumbing its nose at the British government, braking the monopoly of the BBC, invading America and creating a stage for music, record companies, fashion, and above all the freedom to have fun. "It's a terrific little book!" said Steven Van Zandt, of The Bruce Springsteen E Street Band, The Sopranos and "Little Steven's Underground Garage", radio show. Yes, this is a modern David-and-Goliath story, this story of youth, music and fun, this adventure, whose echoes can still be heard in the music and songs that exploded forth during that special moment, that brief moment of freedom. This was...The Ship That Rocked The World!
