MANX RADIO
RECORDS
The record
label of Manx Radio. TManx Radio started
broadcasting in 1964. It had two medium wave channels in the '70s, 188 and
232 metres, but these were replaced by the 219 metres channel in 1978, and thus
the label got its name. 219 seems to have been responsible for just three
releases. The one which interests us was a 7" EP called 'Harvest Of The
Sea' by the Manx Festival Chorus, which featured 'Ellan Vannin' and 'The
Smugglers Lullaby' in addition to the two tracks shown on the scan. The
catalogue number was MR-1000, and it came out in 1979. The next two
records in the series were 12" LPs. They were 'The Royal Tynwald'
(MR-1001; 1979), and 'The Story Of The 1980 T.T. Races' by Peter Kneale
(MR-1002; 1980) - previous T.T Races LPs by Peter Kneale had been made by T.H.
Colebourn Ltd, of Douglas. The radio station is still going today.
