I bought this CD last year because I always liked the Steve Wright show, and was pleased when I saw this album for sale. The album has a few classic songs on it that i love listening to.

There is a good mix of music on this CD which all of the family can enjoy. The oldest songs are classics and the young members of the family have heard them. This is a great CD that has been enjoyed by my whole family.

Steve Wright was voted the nation's most popular DJ by readers of Smash Hits magazine in a 1994 poll.

Steve Wright first worked for several departments in the BBC including the record library during the mid-1970's. In 1976 he moved to Reading's Thames Valley Radio initially making trails and jingles and later presented his own show. He also worked at Radio Atlantis (Belgium) and Radio Luxembourg (RTL) in 1979.

In late 1979 Steve joined Radio 1 originally presenting a Saturday night show, then a chat show, the Top 40, and, with Mike Read as his partner the entertaining Read and Wright show.

In 1982 he moved to daytime with 'Steve Wright in the Afternoon'. This was a popular, entertaining and innovative programme with comical guests such as Mr. Angry from Purley, and 'Mick Jagger', catchphrases such as 'Get Some Therapy' and 'He's Allright'.

Apart from the track listing, there's more about Steve Wright than about the music here.

A little more info on the CD would be helpful. x

This seems a pretty pointless CD to me.
