Reviews

Below is my review for this release and the ratings.
I really enjoyed the singles book which Tim released. Again this allowed me to confirm I had the right entries for albums which are not currently included in my collection.

This book though doesn't seem to have quite the depth as the singles book, for example, it only includes one album where the album was going to be released, but wasn't. This might not be Tim's fault I should add as maybe the archives no longer contain the information. Also, and this could be seen as more important, towards the end of the main label (seen as the RE series in this book) many releases were only released as a cassette or a CD. Some of these entries are included in the book, but quite a number appear to be missing. Here are a couple of examples:
- The Century Catalogue - CJCD828 - 836
- The sound effects CDs - BBCCD792 - 874
Tim says in his book that they aren't included as the "the gaps in the catalogue become so large and frequent that is it probably easier just to not mention them ...", bit odd when they exist!
Another area lacking is the OP series (shown as Educational Releases in the book) which contains only 15 entries, but I am aware of 125.
The last thing is to include some of the singles from the first book, which may seem to be a filler exercise?

Despite the issues I have with this book, it still does contain a lot of useful information and is worht the money I paid for it.

Further information

The items shown here are quite similar to the "main" BBC Records and Tapes library covering a wide secletion of genres from themes, comedy dramas and others, depending on which format you have selected.The main difference is the record was not released by the BBC directly - this could be because the rights were negotiated with another label or some other reason.
