TT 1960 Audio (2 CD Set) - Description
Experience the evocative sounds of the historic 1960 Isle of Man TT, capturing the action, atmosphere and magic of this unique event.
Originally released on vinyl as part of the Stanley Scholfield Sound Stories collection, these wonderful recordings have been digitally remastered.
TT winner and BBC commentator Graham Walker lends his distinctive voice to the recordings, with a script prepared by his son, the now legendary "Voice of Motorsport" Murray Walker.
Close your eyes and let the roaring engines transport you back to 1960, with the fabulous sounds of MV Agusta, Norton, Honda, MZ, BMW, Morini and more conjuring up images of a golden era of motorcycle racing.
You'll hear these marvellous machines at full chat as they pass the landmarks of the world-famous TT circuit, with the Walkers charting the race action as it unfolds.
The 1960 TT featured one of the strongest line-ups imaginable - John Surtees, Mike Hailwood, Carlo Ubbiali, Gary Hocking, John Hartle, Bob McIntyre, Derek Minter, Luigi Taveri and more - and you can hear them all at speed.
These CDs feature coverage of the history-making 1960 TT, including the MV-dominated 125cc, 250cc and 350cc races, the first sidecar TT on the Mountain Course for 35 years and the first Senior TT to be won at an average speed of more than 100mph!
The wonderful exhaust notes, commentary and interviews are not only a vintage treat, but bring you all the drama and action of a festival of truly thrilling racing.
