Isle Of Man Tt 1967 Sound Stories / Original Soundtrack

Brand new pressing Classic 1960s LPs brought back to life on heavyweight vinyl by Duke. Two discs featuring 50cc, 125cc, 250cc, Junior, Senior, Sidecar, & Production, plus Echoes of the Past To the connoisseur of motor cycle road racing there's nothing more exciting than a crisply defined exhaust note. Each racing machine has it's own distinctive 'noise'-and to hear cleanly executed gear changes is 'music' to the ear of the enthusiast, as the varying throttle openings produce the three or maybe four octave range. No more exacting, demanding or variable race course exists in the world than the 373/4 mile 'Mountain' circuit in the Isle of Man: no more variety of machines can be seen-and heard-anywhere than at the Tourist Trophy races, which this year (1967) celebrated their Diamond Jubilee. It is as a permanent record of this great series that we present these records (a set of two). In purposely letting the 'sounds' tell their own story we moved our microphones around to 24 different, exciting positions-each one stamping it's own character on the 'tunes' played. Not only the thrilling sound of the machines can be heard-but the whole record-breaking 'Diamond Jubilee' atmosphere is faithfully recaptured for you to hear time and time again. You can listen to a wide variety of machines in 'full chat' -and the riders, too, in full chat in 'on the spot' interviews, as they talk happily about their races and technically about their bikes. The 1967 Isle of Man Diamond Jubilee T.T. races will long be remembered as the record-breaking events they really were-and here's one record you won't want to break! In our endeavours to include as many varying 'exhaust notes' as possible (and we feel we've got 'em all this year), and to also let them be heard from numerous locations, the race commentary as such has been dispensed with. The excitement and drama is real-recorded as it happened in the pits and on the circuit via the Public Address system provided by Manx Radio
