Below is a listing from the Albums Category.

Welcome to my listing of Albums from my collection. To view a different section (for example the BBC Transcription discs if there are any for this), select the new section in the links above this message.

To view details of a particular release, simply click on the picture or the text which follows underneath in the display below. By viewing a release page, you will find a lot more information about that particular release which includes basic details of it like the artist and year of release, any track details for the release (if applicable), lists of other similar releases as well as any other pictures I have taken. If there are linked videos, then you will be able to see the them in a form of a youtube embedded object into the webpage!

For BBC releases, all releases are listed whether they are in my collection or not. You can check if I actually have it by selecting the link.

Please note that if you are aware of a BBC release not listed on these pages, then I would be very interested in hearing from you. Would you mind please contacting me using the Contact me page, link above? If you also have an item to sell, then you can use that same page to try to sell the item to me. I should add that the number of entries I don't have from the publicly available catalagues are now quite small. To make this easier for you, I have created a Titles I need page listing them all, see link above!

Picture of albums BBC Records Albums - BBC - Radioplay Music - TAIR (TAIR 79046-TAIR 80023)

BBC Radioplay Music Library produced a series of Radioplay LPs & CDs exclusive to the British Broadcasting Corporation for use in its radio broadcasts. BBC Radioplay LPs & CDs were produced solely for broadcast by BBC radio stations and featured recordings that were free from Copyright, containing tracks recorded by the BBC (or partner organisations in Europe, USA etc). A number were live recordings, but there are also versions of well known songs recorded in the radio stations studios.

For the vinyl LPs the front sleeves were usually of exactly the same design, with a picture of the featured artist & title being the only difference. The rear sleeve notes the title, tempo, intro, duration, end, composer, publisher and blurb related to the track (so the presenter could appear knowledgable!) BBC Radioplay LPs have some unique recordings, and as they were usually pressed by companies like Nimbus and were for broadcast, the quality of the production and pressing is usually very high. All CDs prefaced with the TAIRCD reference. CDs were manufactured at the Nimbus plant. "BBC Radioplay Music is not available to the public."
