This was the highest rating Melbourne breakfast show for much of its run from 1965 till 1986. 
To listen to it now makes you wonder why as it sounds so dated and is just the ramblings of 
a bitter and grumpy man who was living in the past and had more interest in the British Empire 
of old than the country he had lived in for most of his life. 
Despite this millions of people started the day with \"The Evans\" and had some affinity with his 
attitudes. 

Although being on air for so long relativity  few recordings exist, however i have many hours 
and i might as well start putting them up while there are still people around who care. He has 
now been dead for as long as he was doing the show, and to listen to them now does bring 
back the memories of  mornings  long gone. 

This first batch of recordings are from the \"Cosway Collection\" a listener who recorded a 
lot of stuff  off air in the 70\'s  and in generally  good quality as well. Seems these were 
recorded in 1978.
