He ran down to the front to shake Rory’s hand…When the \u003cem\u003eBBC\u003c\/em\u003e did eventually broadcast the concert, I taped it by leaning the microphone from my clunky cassette recorder against the speaker of our old transistor radio and I listened to that tape over and over again” Nick Hornby, Author.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Rory Gallagher","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57775406809433,"sku":"602465108460.0","price":12.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4236\/6809\/files\/Logic_UP_PictureDiscs_602465654417_ProductShot_REV1_0001_3LP-expanded-packshot.png?v=1775793316","url":"https:\/\/eurovinyl.shop\/products\/rory-gallagher-the-best-of-rory-gallagher-at-the-bbc","provider":"EUROVINYL","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
