BBC Transcription LP The Goon Show 85 'Last Smoking Seagoon' and 86
Side 1 Goon Show 85 'The Last Smoking Seagoon' duration 28' 57"
Side 2 Goon Show 86 ' A Christmas Carol' duration 29' 02"
One of the earliest 12" Transcription LPs replacing the double 10" LP albums that The Goon Shows were issued in the 1950's
This LP has a longer recording of each show. Later Transcription recording were edited down to a standard 27 minutes so commercial radio stations could insert a commercial break and make announcements within a 30 minute slot.
The condition is very good for a record issued in 1960 when the 'Last Smoking Seagoon was broadcast (28th January 1960)
There is no cue (continuity) sheet
This record looks clean with no scratches but may have a little surface noise having had some use by Radio Stations (actually very little indeed)
These LP's were sent to radio stations all over the world. For a fee they would be able to broadcast the programmes on the LP a number of times over a period of about 3 years denoted by the expiry date. The LP was then supposed to be destroyed or returned to the BBC in London. A number of studio / station managers or DJ's must have decided the LP's were too good to throw away! The BBC Transcription Service boast that they supply upwards of 200 Radio stations so the print run of these LP's is probably in that order. As many Radio Stations dutifully did as the BBC asked few of these LP's survived.
THE small print: Please read - -
No returns unless the item arrives damaged (photo required) or is not as described. If you buy it by mistake or just to record it then sell it yourself on eBay rather than ask if you can return it and be labelled a time water.
If you buy more than one LP and the combined value is less than £50 then wait for an invoice as it costs the same to post two as one . However if the value is £50 or greater the cost is nearly twice that which I have shown so there is little room for a saving.
If you have any questions about the item please ask. I don't mind providing additional pictures/ or information if required.
If the item is not as described you will, of course get a full refund.
If the item arrives damaged I refund the cost AFTER a photograph is emailed, via Ebay messaging, showing the damage (there are instances when a buyer says an item is damaged when, in reality, it arrived safely, to fraudulently obtain a refund)
Thanks for looking
