Hi and welcome to Australia's complete seventies eighties experience:

As the days go by, many of the great things we remember from the seventies and eighties vanish through the cracks of time. Radio stations change their formats, record companies mass delete their back catalogues, media companies either wipe-over or cul older material, and the list goes on.   Over coming years, much of the fassion, music, fads and interests from this era will unfortunately be lost for good.  As music from this era gets rarer, it will become extremely expensive, and eventually disappear into private hands.  We endeavour to catch as much of this material as possible, and play it on our radio programs,

Originally called "Planet Dot Retro", the site initially contained album and CD reviews.  Since it's establishment in November 2000, Planet Retro has changed and grown in many ways.  New sections were added including information on transferring your old records to CD, a complete history of Sydney Commercial Radio, and Intelligaming; a section on the early years of video gaming and computing. 

For those who love their retro music, Radio Station 2PR FM is now playing all the retro hits, with over 45 hours of programming online at any given time.  This station will play continuous backtrax from the 70's and 80's, with a few hits from the 60's and early 90's. 

Come in for a safe landing, and enjoy the one planet that truly is "the complete seventies eighties experience".  With our new hosting arrangement, Planet Retro is now looking better then ever, and is here for a long permanent stay.

Before exploring the site any further, I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude, to those who have assisted in everyway that they could, to make this site possible.   I would like to thank Mr Luke Downs and Mr Mike Drayson from RMK Voice Productions, for their much appreciated help.  For their wonderful help in publicity, we would also like to extend our thanks to Mr. Des Pope and Mr. Paul Davis from the Pre-Press Department of Sydney Institute of TAFE.

Enjoy!
