And talking of CB in the last post, here’s some Citizen Band related tunes. The first is a funky/disco number from the island of Jamaica. It’s from Bobby T & The Citizen’s Band (Third World we reckon as it is near enough “Everything is great”) called 40 channels to play. There’s even some shortwave tuning sounds and even a callsign thrown in, “U54 or UW4 (?) Kingston, Jamaica, West Indies”. This is probably the only time CQ DX is ever mentioned on a Jamaican Top Ranking Discomix 12″.

The next is a downtempo CB sampling tune and what sounds like off-tuned SSB (single side band) vocals in parts from Trucker called Interlude 4 – Citizen Band Armageddon. 

And if anyone can comment on Citizen’s Band, Mark E. Smith did with the ditty by The Fall called I’m into CB which contains the classic lyrics:
“This is Happy Harry Plank
From the land of waving palms
Calling out to Cedar Plank
477 CC
There’s no Code 13
In the home of chocolate city
I’m having trouble with the terminology
But I’m into CB”

Above is an odd recording of CB truckers across the pond just as COVID was starting, mad stuff!

Have a good weekend and may the sun shine on your garden again tomorrow.
