COMMENT) have suggested this recording is a re-creation of a 1963 Radio
Luxembourg broadcast. To our knowledge, this was unknown by the contributor.
We are publishing his description as originally submitted.[Description by David Critchfield]
The source for this exhibit was Russ Horton, who says this was from the original master tape! This remains a well preserved piece of history.
When listening to Radio Luxembourg from just about anywhere in Europe, it faded in and out terribly due to its “208” frequency, so it is fabulous to hear it so clearly from that era.

Who’s Who in Radio Luxembourg
DAVID GELL
Canadian-born David had an incredibly early introduction to the world of broadcasting  he first stood before a microphone when he was eight years old! Born on August 23, 1929, David pursued this ambition further when at high school in Calgary. When he left school he became a full-time staff announcer on CFAC, Calgary’s top radio station. David graduated with two degrees, in Political Economy and Commerce. David was foreign correspondent in Paris for Station CFAC, and traveled extensively throughout Europe. In 1955 a vacancy arose at Radio Luxembourg for a summer replacement DJ, and so successful was David during his three-year stint that he was asked to stay on permanently. Today he is a freelance, but does the major part of his work for Luxembourg including some enormously popular record shows.
