Ken Bruce Show Week 16th August


"Whispering" Bob Harris joins Ken Bruce for a very special Tracks Of My Years as Bob celebrates the 40th anniversary of his first broadcast on BBC Radio 1 on 19 August 1970.

Bob picks 10 of his favourite tracks during the week and reveals the reasons behind his selection.

Bob's choices include the very first record he bought – Paul Anka's Diana which he bought on 78rpm; Alone Again Or by Love which was gifted to him by John Peel; T-Rex's Get It On which brings back memories of the first T-Rextasy tour; and Steve Earle's Guitar Town which launched BBC Radio 2's Bob Harris Country show back in 1999. And on Friday, Bob reveals his all-time favourite single.

From 11.50am on Friday 20 August Bob Harris's Tracks Of My Years – The Directors Cut will be available on the BBC Radio 2 website – bbc.co.uk/radio2 – offering an extended version in which Bob offers more insight and shares stories about what makes these 10 particular records special to him.

Bob Harris can be heard on Radio 2 on Saturday nights between 12midnight and 3am and on Thursday nights at 7-8pm for Bob Harris Country.

BBC Pressoffice.

Think his all time favourite single is Ben E King's 'Stand By Me'. Must admit I like John Lennon's more rock oriented take on that track better myself.

If you enjoyed hearing the 'director's cut' of Bob's Tracks Of My Years (shame you only got a few seconds snippet of the tracks-I made a point of hearing the full tracks via KB's 'listen again') Why not have a listen to Bob's 40th anniversary weekend show, which I am enjoying as I write this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00th8kp

I agree on the point about the Director's Cut. It's a shame the didn't include the full tracks.

I'm listening to Bob's 40th anniversary programme on I-player at the moment.
