THIS DISC IS PART OF WHAT IS UNDOUBTELY THE FINEST COLLECTION OF RARE BBC TOP OF THE POPS AND PICK OF THE POPS TRANSCRIPTION DISCS EVER TO HAVE APPEARED ON EBAY... OR ANYWHERE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER! THEY ALL DATE FROM THE GOLDEN PERIOD OF 1966-1971, AND ARE BEING SOLD ON BEHALF OF A LADY WHOSE FATHER HAD THE FORESIGHT TO RESCUE THEM FROM A SKIP OVER THIRTY YEARS AGO.
THESE ARE GENIUNE BBC TRANSCRIPTIONS DISCS WHICH ARE MAINLY IN EXCELLENT, NEAR MINT OR MINT CONDITION, AND I WILL BE LISTING THEM DISC BY DISC OVER THE COMING MONTHS.
(A NOTE ON WHAT EXACTLY BBC TRANSCRIPTION DISCS ARE)
BBC TRANSCRIPTION DISCS ARE AMONG THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER RARITIES AMONGST COLLECTORS OF 1960s/EARLY 1970s MUSIC AND ARTISTS. THE TOP OF THE POPS DISCS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE TELEVISION PROGRAMME OF THE SAME NAME, AND WERE IN FACT MADE UP OF TRACKS FROM THE PREVIOUS WEEKS LIVE BBC SESSION, WHICH WERE THEN PRESSED AS A FULL LENGTH PROGRAMME COMPLETE WITH BRIAN MATTHEW'S DJ LINKS AND INTERVIEWS WITH THE FAMOUS (AND NOT SO FAMOUS!) STARS OF THE DAY. THESE WERE THEN SENT TO OVERSEAS TERRITORIES WITH THE EXPRESS INSTRUCTIONS THAT WERE TO BE DESTROYED BY THE "EXPIRY DATE", WHIC WAS SIX MONTHS LATER. IT IS THOUGHT THAT THERE WAS ONLY EVER 50 OR SO WERE PRESSED OF EACH PROGRAMME, AND THE VAST MAJORITY WERE INDEED DESTROYED. IT IS QUITE LIKELY THAT SOME OF THE EXAMPLES IN THIS SUPERB COLLECTION ARE CLOSE TO BEING UNIQUE - THE ONLY SURVIVING COPIES ANYWHERE. PICK OF THE POPS DISCS (WHICH ARE EVEN RARER!) WERE PRESSED FOR THE SAME USE, BUT WITHOUT THE USE OF DJ LINKS AND INTERVIEWS.
THESE DISCS ARE QUITE SIMPLY AS RARE AS IT GETS!!!
VERY IMPORTANT!
I WILL NOT ACCEPT RETURNS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES AS BOOTLEGGING IS RIFE WITH THESE DISCS. YOU CAN TRUST MY DESCRIPTIONS AND GRADINGS 100%, AS MY FEEDBACK SHOWS.
IMPORTANT
I HAVE QUOTED BASIC UK 2nd CLASS POSTAGE - OR BASIC AIRMAIL POSTAGE TO EUROPE/REST OF THE WORLD, BUT DUE TO THE POSSIBLE VALUE OF SOME OF THESE DISCS YOU MAY WANT TO HAVE INCREASED POSTAL PROTECTION - IE RECORDED DELIVERY, EXTRA INSURANCE ETC - PLEASE CONTACT ME BEFORE I SEND THE INVOICE TO YOU AND I WILL QUOTE YOU A PRICE FOR YOUR EXTRA REQUIREMENTS ETC.
