�The Rocket 88 Story 1978 � 1985� feat. Ian Stewart, Charlie Watts and many more

This is a series of shows provided by nzb to present the story of Rocket 88 - the side project of Ian 'Stu' Stewart and Charlie Watts.
Thanks very much to nzb that provided us his recordings, to Jaap (Stonesmuziekfan) who gave critic and advise regarding my work, to my friend Riccardo (MrNo) who participated to a big part of my collection.

Here it was not necessary to do anything other than adding a little more treble and an amplification of the sound. The end of the broadcast is a little damaged and the last track ended sudden, so I tried to fix it as good as possible.
