Highlights from the Isle of Man TT in 1958, 1959 and 1960 released on CD

Highlights from the Isle of Man TT in 1958, 1959 and 1960 released on CD

The Isle of Man TT remains the greatest motorcycle race on Earth, and as it enters its second century Duke is offering fans a rare opportunity to own vintage recordings from a golden period of the event’s history.

Originally released on vinyl as part of the Stanley Schofield Sound Stories archive, these wonderful recordings include highlights from the 1958 Senior TT, sounds from racing in 1959 and coverage from 1960.

Each captures all the evocative sounds which will let fans close their eyes and be transported back in time, back to a time when today’s legends were being created. The roaring engines and distinctive exhaust notes of classic machines, including MV Agusta, Norton, Matchless, BSA, AJS, BMW and more, are complemented by the authoritative commentary of TT winner and BBC commentator Graham Walker.

Graham’s script for each recording was prepared by his son, the now world-famous “Voice of Motorsport” Murray Walker – and Murray makes a few appearances adding his own familiar tones to the TT soundtrack. The recordings have been digitally remastered to enhance the listening experience, but have lost none of the charm of these classic masterpieces. And to make these CDs a real treat for enthusiasts, the sleeves notes written by Graham Walker are reproduced in full.
