On October 12, 1973, offshore radio station Radio Veronica organized a special Rolling Stones day as a preview of the concerts the band would give at Ahoy' Rotterdam on October 13 and 14. During this broadcast only music by The Rolling Stones was played, interspersed with archival material, jingles and a special Rolling Stones radio riddle.
Radio Veronica was a Dutch pirate radio station that broadcast from international waters off the coast of the Netherlands
Believe it or not, but its main purpose was to boost the selling of radios.
Veronica became immensely popular with the general public through the broadcasting of pop and rock music and the famous Top 40.
Every Friday evening from seven o'clock to half past seven (some English say "from seven to half seven") they would broadcast well known and also quite rare Stones songs (that would later om appear on bootleg albums).
