THESE ARE VERY RARE ORIGINAL UK BBC TRANSCRIPTION RECORDS MADE FOR THE RADIO STATIONS AIRPLAY ONLY. THEY WERE SENT TO ALL COMMONWEALTH COUNTRIES, BBC (OR SIMILAR) RADIO BROADCASTERS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. THEY WERE NOT MADE IN BIG NUMBERS AND DEFINITELY NOT MADE FOR PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION. MAYBE 50 - 100 OR SO IN THE WORLD. WHAT MAKES THEM EXTREMELY DESIRABLE TO COLLECTORS IS THE FACT THAT SOME OF THE RECORDINGS ON THE BBC TRANSCRIPTION ALBUMS ARE SONGS THE ARTISTS DID LIVE IN THE BBC STUDIOS AND ONLY FOR THAT PARTICULAR DISC AND THAT TIME ONLY, TRUE ONE OFF'S, SO THEY ARE UNHEARD GEMS THAT NOT MANY PEOPLE HAVE HEARD. THIS MAKES THEM VERY RARE AND WORTH HAVING, IF THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE INTO. VERY RARELY COME UP FOR SALE AND NOT MANY AVAILABLE TO BUY THESE DAYS. THEY ARE ALSO WELL KNOWN FOR THEIR GREAT SOUND QUALITY. ON THIS RECORD ARE : VAL DOONICAN accompanied by the JIMMY CURRIE QUINTET & THE KINGFISHERS, and he sings: GENTLE ON MY MIND, O’RAFFERTY'S PIG, MYSTERIOUS PEOPLE, MARVELLOUS TOY, LITTLE GREEN APPLES, ELUSIVE BUTTERFLY. VERA LYNN accompanied by ALYN AINSWORTH AND HIS ORCHESTRA and she sings: A KIND OF A HUSH, WONDERFUL WORLD, SUNRISE, SUNSET, SOMETHING IS HAPPENING, FOOL ON THE HILL.
THIS ONE HAS NO CUE SHEETS!
