A television programme filmed on board the Ross Revenge is to be broadcast on Sky this weekend.
The documentary about the making of The Who’s iconic 1967 album ‘The Who Sell Out’ was filmed on Radio Caroline’s radio ship moored on the River Blackwater, Essex.
It’s part of the Sky Arts Classic Album series and airs this Friday (23 April) at 9pm.
‘The Who Sell Out’ is a collection of songs, interspersed with fake commercials and purporting to be a broadcast by the offshore station Radio London. The album used Radio London jingles instead of Radio Caroline jingles, had they used Caroline’s jingles at that time they would have fallen foul of the Marine Broadcasting Offences Act 1967, which was aimed at shutting down pirate radio stations.
