1974 12 14 Sat 1800-1900 Capital R, London (95.8FM) - Roger Scott - Cruising - British 1964
Cruisin’ was essentially a rock and roll oldies show which started its life on a Saturday evening from 6pm-8pm. Unlike other 'oldies' shows, Roger nearly always gave his Cruisin’ programmes a theme every week. Along with producer James Hamilton they picked out an amazing selection of tracks that always contained new material many listeners had never heard alongside familiar favourites. In 1975 Cruisin’ moved to a 1 hour slot 6pm-7pm on a Friday at the end of Roger’s drive time show. To sum up the essence of Cruisin', it conjured up the atmosphere of the film American Graffiti where guys literally cruised around the strip in California playing rock and roll songs.
