Absolutely loved this station, still got loads of souvenirs such as recordings, posters, Tommy Rivers' old Butwin jacket and one of the carts from the studio.

To Anthony Duncalf. At least at the B.B.C., staff can go home at the end of the day. Not 24 hours exposure to radiation! There have been pictures of somebody on the deck of a radio ship , holding a fluorescent tube ( not connected to anything) The, I think STATIC (?) electricity in the air lit up the light tube!

I had the pleasure of going on board about 15 years ago when it was owned by Dave Miller and anchored in Lowestoft harbour, poor old girl had been vandalised in Holland when some idiots opened the seacocks and sunk her in the harbour, a few months later after leaving Lowestoft, she was towed up to the Orkneys where not much of her is left now.

To GZAPPA. THANKS for your reply! But I saw earlier footage of Lazer558, when the ship wasn't in bad condition. Unfortunately, being victimized by the law, those ships weren't able to come into harbours for maintenance or repainting. Lamentably, another time, it was filmed with rust ALL OVER - and in my opinion, wasn't safe to continue to broadcast any more.

Laser 558 always sounded repetitive and amateurish to me. It certainly signalled the end of "needletime" on UK radio, however, I don't think that was necessarily a good thing because listening to what UK radio has become now is a direct result of Laser's intervention.
