Help with research needed! Do any of you clever clogs know approximately which day of the month The Gramophone was published in the late sixties? Nowadays it's 7th of the previous month for the next month's issue. Feb issue comes out on 7th Jan. I wanna know if it was a similar thing way back then.

Born this day 1945 – Marti Caine relaxing with her tigrine companion on the reissue of the quite brilliant LP Point Of View.

70 years ago today the world's first jet-propelled guided NAAFI took off for Malaya, carrying 10,000 cups of tea. It was an historic event, captured on the BBC Home Service & later issued on a gramophone record. More importantly, we talked about it on Goon Pod: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

Whilst I’m here… the first four BBC Radio Enterprises records were… Our Present Knowledge of the Universe A lecture by Sir Bernard Lovell RE1/2 Latterly reissued in a gorgeous picture sleeve, but here in its original and slight mysterious promo form

A red letter day at BBC Records (Vinyl) and my collection. The fifth ever record produced by BBC Radio Enterprises is finally in my possession. The Great Queens A Sound Tribute to the world's most famous liners PRODUCED BY BBC RADIO ENTERPRISES WITH THE CO-OPERATION OF CUNARD

"Doctor Who Sound Effects" (1978) #DrWho #DoctorWho #1970s

More np: BRETT STEVENS SINGS GREEN ALL THE WAY AND OTHER BALLADS OF THE AGE OF STEAM BY DAVE GOULDER SONGS AND SOUNDS OF THE RAILWAYS REB 45 M, 1969 Folk elegy to the end of steam in the ‘and the.. and the… but the… (rpt.)’ style. Typical early BBC Recs offering really,

NP: Fletch Wiley - Nightwatch From ‘The Prima Collection’ PRIM 6000, (P)1981 (C)1990 Smoother than hot buttered silk. Think Herb Alpert in the disco era but even less exciting. BBC Records, and also Prestige Records. A strange set of releases this. An odd time at the label altogether.

Good afternoon!

Here’s a 1974 photo I found yesterday of Peter Dimmock when he was General Manager of BBC Enterprises. He’s posing with Music For A Royal Wedding REW 163, 1973

Thanks @webuyrecords.bsky.social for the tribute to @golfyfun.bsky.social Vince Williams. I’d noted he was planning for the end but missed his passing, a few ago now. He really was one of the good uns and we did a couple of swaps back in the good times at the bad place. A collector and a gent RIP

A few years ago I was lucky enough to gain access to the BBC Written Archive and see what I could turn up on sound effects records. One result of that was this long blog post detailing everything I could glean about the creation of the Death & Horror SFX LP. www.bbcrecords.co.uk/wp/inside-de...

When I started working in radio in 1970 I remember being supplied with 16 rpm transcription discs for syndicated shows right up to the mid-1970's

Interesting for 68 they are playing a 78 and holding a big transcription disc.

DJ Fanny Cradock spinning the discs on Invitation To Music, Radio 4 1968.

Adverts should be… oh bugger. Beaten to it
