Mark Stuart is best remembered for his time as a DJ on Radio Northsea International in 1971 but he returned to sea in 1984-5 to work behind the scenes as an engineer on Laser-558. He has given me these recordings, taped off-air on the Laser ship, the mv Communicator, on a collection of old cassettes. Some are very short.  

There are no dates on the cassettes. I have tried to give dates where possible – either taken from DJ comments, news items or Jan-Fre’s Offshore Radio Index - but some are unknown. Can anyone supply the missing dates? 

I have posted clips from some of these on my website: https://www.offshoreradio.co.uk/album121.htm

Kan iemand dit voor mij op pixeldrain aanbieden svp?

I sent these recordings to Ray Robinson of the Azanorak site, as well as posting them here.

Ray has spotted that on MS05 David Lee Stone gives the date as 4th Nov 1984, not the 18th.

He thinks MS07 may also be from 4th November.
