Not sure how to go about this. Just 'restored' a tape I made of Petula Clark
Live in London from the Beeb. its actually quite a good recording, none of
this squashed dynamic radio 2 do these days. Anyway, can anyone tell me when
this was put out? I need to label the cd!

Iain, if you want my own opinion - the 'wireless' is still far and away the
best 'entertainment source' of them all!

It was good then (very) and it ain't too bad now - even with the sodding
adverts on CFM, which I hafta say is frequently so sublime in the evening
(different entirely from the daytime crap) almost the entire evening gets
taken over by it!!

Well that's no help. It has bits from Sunset Blvd in it, so the later one,
but I've a feeling it was a special. Its got Alan Dedicote announcing it,
and its about 100 minutes in all.

Journey Into Space, Goons, Hancock and others now tend to reappear on BBC
Radio 7. :-) For the comedy I tend to prefer ISIRTA. though. Still have
some ancient tapes that include the bits the BBC censored in later years.
Although the age and source means many of them have beat whistles from
adjacent MW broadcasts!

Must get around to transcribing the tapes sometime...

I noticed that Radio 7's versions of 'Knowing Me, Knowing You' were a minute

if it was censored or just had the boring bits cut to fit the time

I'll have to pass on that since so far as the Pet Clark is concerned I was
commenting on the basis of what Brian said. Not my cup of tea! :-)

My own recordings extend back to the 1970s. Most are in the 1970 - 1985
period, although a few are pre 1970. IIRC The BBC didn't start using any
systematic automated level compression (as distinct from limiters) until
the mid 1980s.
