Reginald Dixon Excerpts BBC Radio 1967

Reginald Dixon Excerpts BBC Radio 1967. A few more Reginald Dixon offerings here. These are recorded from the old BBC Light programme "Blackpool Night". Which went out in summertime on Saturday evening and often was repeated on Sunday afternoon as well. This was a radio variety show.
So here are the Reginald Dixon excerpts from August 1967. These were found on every early Philips Cassette so again recorded some 56 years ago I assume straight off a radio of that period radio. I would assume had been recorded on a small mono cassette recorder of that period. The Cassette tape had only been launched by Philips at the August Berlin Radio show in 1963. So even by 1967 had not taken off due to the price of any cassette player recorder and the cassette tapes. A lot of tape hiss on this recording I tried to reduce this as much as possible without killing the recording which is very easy to do as the recording was quite weak as opposed to older '60s Reel to Reel tape recordings often being far too strong! Mind it is amazing how any of these tapes have lasted so well this had a few breaks which needed the old cassette taken to bits then joined back and put in a newer cassette case to play and copy.

The longer I live and the older I become the more I love and value these wonderful memories. Thanks, Kevin, for helping me stay sane. Peter A :) :) :)

What a brilliant organist he was we are very lucky to have the care and patience of people like you to rescue these rare recordings for present and future enthusiasts.

The cassette is much better quality that the "off air" acetates that I used to produce the series of cassettes called "the Master" on my ODIN MUSIC label. I spent months cleaning them up with, by todays standards, primitive analogue gear. They never made any money but i am glad I did it. You have made a good job of it I must say.
