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!

It was broadcast on Friday Night is Music Night on 15th December. The
year was any of 2006, 2000, 1995, 1989.

Don't know which year, but they all had 15th December fall on a
Friday.

I'm now curious to learn how you know the above! :-)

FWIW I have a number of old radio recordings. Usually I wrote down the date
at the time. But didn't for some of them. Is there a generic way to find
out this info? I'd assumed not.

I'm wondering if the relative lack of level compression implies the
earliest date?

Slainte,

Jim

Friday Night is Music Night!
Gosh, that brings back memories:-) Is it still running?
When I was a nipper it used to be Sydney Torch conducting
the BBC Concert orchestra, with two guest singers - Adele
Leigh was often one of them - plus a military band. The
Coldstream Guards and Royal Signals were always my
favourites:-)

Halcyon days!

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!!

Look 15the Dec is my birthday, and I'm pretty sure it was not done on my
birthday.
Golders Green Hippodrome if that helps, BBC Concert Orch.

The Hippodrome? That puts it a while back now. The place has been
taken over by a bunch of Christian nutters.

I got my info from a quick Google. It may have referred to a repeat of
course.

Then you must remember the ultimate - Sing Something Simple. I think
they had recordings of about a dozen songs, all sounding identical,
which they played in a different order every Sunday.
