Years ago I released a sounds of Formula 1 CD

[chelsea9899]

It should be getting a digital release soon, so I thought i'd give you little edit of Track 26 to hear.

It's LOUD.

Is it not derivative of the 1966 album, The Sound of Formula E, by Simon and Garfunkel?

[chelsea9899]

No, it was a bit later than that ;-)

Was that ever sold with a copy of F1 Racing magazine?

[chelsea9899]

No, I primarily sold it via an advert in Autosport, but also standing outside the gates of the British GP with a bag full and a stereo (I subsequently *almost* got arrested as for some stupid reason, they thought they were rip offs and had to return showing documentation that I did in fact own the license for it)

Other CD's came along, but this was the first released in the UK at the time.

edit: Oh also, now that I recall, there was a chain of F1 stores launched who were based in Buckingham, I did a fair few through them as well. They didn't last too long though. Also the F1 shop in Chiswick and a few other places.

I had that album but every time I played it, I had to change the CD player halfway through.

We still have that one, it makes my car passengers really confused when the iPods on shuffle, and a screaming V10 suddenly arrives on the speakers....

I for some reason got rid of mine a couple of years ago during a clear out. Regret it now.

That was certainly the case with the vinyl and cassette versions.

Do you have picture of the cover? I'm sure I had this years ago - some mates and I took great pleasure in playing it full volume in the hold of a North Sea ferry on the way to a European Ford event in the 90s.

There were a couple of French ones too I seem to remember.

I've got that, it's on my old i-Pod touch.......

This is the sleeve of the one provided by F1 racing magazine, as it was called in 2003
