Early BBC Transcription Double 10" LP The Vera Lynn Show 7 and 8
Two complete shows on 2 10" LPs It's rare to get both halves of a show from this era.usually one LP is missing
One advantage of the early Transcription records is they are usually the full length show rather than edited down to 27 minutes to suite commercial radio stations. The shows on this set are 28' 25" and 29' 19".
The start of the shows were probably re-recorded by the Transcription service to lease to overseas radio stations. I suspect that these recordings were originally the Vera Lynn "Sincerely Yours" shows.
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 - -
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. This is because the Post Office compensation is only up to £50 on 'signed for' and for compensation above £50 parcels have to be sent by special 'next day' delivery.
If you buy the record 'by mistake' or simply to record the tracks and no longer want it then sell it on eBay yourself, give it to a charity shop but don't ask to return it. You will be listed as a 'time waster'.
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)
Should you have any questions about the item please ask. I don't mind providing additional pictures or information if required.
Thanks for looking
