Duke Video`s Notes:
Enjoy the rare opportunity to listen to the evocative sounds of the Isle of Man TT in the 1950s, capturing the action, atmosphere and magic of this unique event.
Originally released on vinyl as part of the Stanley Scholfield Sound Stories collection, these wonderful recordings have been digitally remastered.
TT winner and BBC commentator Graham Walker lends his distinctive voice to the recordings, with a script prepared by his son, the now legendary "Voice of Motorsport" Murray Walker.
Close your eyes and let the roaring engines transport you back to the `50s, with the fabulous sounds of Norton, Matchless, MV, BSA, AJS, BMW and more conjuring up images of a golden era of motorcycle racing.
You`ll hear these marvellous machines at full chat as they pass the landmarks of the world-famous TT circuit, with Graham Walker charting the race action as it unfolds.
Plus, the recordings feature rare interviews with legends of the sport, including John Surtees, Geoff Duke, Bob McIntyre, a young Mike Hailwood and more.
This CD features coverage of the dramatic 1959 TT. This was the year when the Senior TT was run in horrendous weather conditions, and in these recordings you can actually hear the howling wind which faced the riders on the Mountain as they battled for glory. You`ll also hear the sounds of practice from the Mountain and Clypse courses, the Junior TT and the debut of Honda in the Isle of Man. Plus, enjoy the 1958 Senior TT, including the atmospheric race build-up, incredible exhaust notes and interviews with the stars of the day.
