Thanks. I remember when I was about 17 (25 yrs ago!), a local second hand record shop had an original bbc transcription disc LP of this gig - at the princely sum of about £30 I just couldn't afford it. Needless to say I am kicking myself now!

Check out the attachment, from the June 1989 Record Collector magazine - it mentions this transcription disc.

This may be the one I've heard the highest quality samples from (about ten years ago now). It's definitely out there.

Despite the ad, I'm not so sure the actual disc exists.
The ad states Hyde Park is a Capital radio (london station) transcription disc.
Nothing to do with the BBC.
Has anyone ever confirmed if it actually even aired on Capital radio?

Thanks Bob for sharing your source of this great show ! :)

I was remembering from a long time ago that it was a BBC disc, but iI suppose it may possibly have been Capital (though I'm sure I recall the BBC name on it - either way, a disc exists cos I've seen it! I do recall that It had a yellow label, possibly with black writing.

I suppose in theory could this have been a transcription disc of the Hammersmith 75 audio instead??

I think that could be a more likely explanation.
I have never seen a Capital Radio Transcription disc from ANY artist
On the other hand, there are plenty to be found from the BBC.
If you look at that ad again there is actually a 1975 BBC Transcription disc listed as well.
Perhaps that's the one you saw, this one perhaps?

All I can go by is that ad in the 1989 Record Collector mag.

Let's hope it wasn't a typo.

The objective of the ad is to get some more punters through the door. You don't necessarily need to have all the products listed.

Thanks a lot for this one.
