A young Murray Walker commentates on these memorable sounds from original Stanley Schofield recordings of the Isle of Man TT during the post-war heyday of the works racers - from the all-conquering Italian factories through to the now-invincible Japanese. Includes the 50cc Suzuki, Honda, Kreidler; 125, 250, 285 and 350cc four cylinder Hondas; 350 and 500 four cylinder MVs and Gileras (including sidecar); Manx Norton and Matchless G50; Jawa; BSA and BMW sidecars. Surtees, Duke, Hailwood and McIntyre pushed their bikes to the very limits and there can be no greater sound than these machines in glorious race action from 1957-1964.
