TT 1965 Audio 2 CD Set
Description
Experience the evocative sounds of the historic 1965 Isle of Man TT, capturing the action, atmosphere and magic of this unique event.
Originally released on vinyl as part of the Stanley Schofield Sound Stories collection, these wonderful recordings have been digitally remastered and are presented here with original LP sleeve notes.
The now legendary "Voice of Motorsport" Murray Walker provides the commentary, and conducts interviews with the stars of the day in this fine TT review.
Close your eyes and let the roaring engines transport you back to 1965, with the fabulous sounds of the Honda Four, twin Yamaha, four cylinder Suzuki, plus machinery from Benelli, Jawa, Aermacchi, Bultaco, Royal Enfield and many 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 Walker charting the race action as it unfolds.
The CDs feature drama from the Senior, Junior, 125cc and 250cc Lightweight, 50cc and Sidecar TTs.
Among the many highlights are Mike Hailwood battling back in the Senior, the frantic sounds from his pit as mechanics battle to get the MV back into action, Jim Redman "doing the hat trick" twice, the arrival of water-cooled Suzukis and many more historic moments.
Alongside the evocative sounds of iconic motorcycles are the views of the legendary racers, including interviews with Hailwood, Redman, Phil Read, Hugh Anderson, Derek Minter and more.
The wonderful exhaust notes, commentary and interviews are not only a vintage treat, but bring you all the drama and action of a festival of truly thrilling racing.
