Further Information/Comments A rare and historical LP, this album is commonly referred to as 'the pink record', and is a commercial issue of an earlier internal BBC record. It contains 31 pieces of groundbreaking electronic music written by Delia Derbyshire, John Baker and David Cain, who were all intergral parts of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop.
Delia Derbyshire is one of the earliest and most influential electronic sound synthesists. She was musically active from 1962 until the mid seventies, then briefly again for a few years before she died in 2001 at the age of 64. Although her revolutionary sounds are familiar to over a hundred million people through the theme to the television series "Doctor Who" and the seminal album of 1969 "An Electric Storm" she was hardly ever credited and her name is almost unknown. The bulk of her musical production and atmospheric sound for television and radio programmes is on tape in the BBC Sound Archives. After her death, 267 tapes from her attic as well as a box of her papers were consigned to the archive, then in 2007 donated to Manchester University Center for Screen Studies who have digitized them but only three new tracks have been released since then, on compilation albums with music from other composers. Most will probably never be heard again. Mark Ayres made a catalogue of the BBC archives and of the attic tapes but neither has been published.
The Delia Derbyshire tracks on this LP are; Pot au Feu, Blue Veils and Golden Sands, The Delian Mode, Ziw-zih Ziw-zih oo-oo-oo, Towards Tomorrow, Quiz Time, Door to Door,Air _______________________________________________________________________
I am a collector who has been collecting records for nearly 30 years, and these records are either part of my collection that I no longer require, or have acquired over the years as part of a job lot I purchased. My main motivation for selling records is to finance the purchase of further records for my collection.
I have been buying and selling on Ebay since July 2000, and have a 100% positive feedback rate. I pride myself on giving accurate gradings and doing everything I can to ensure that every sale goes smoothly.
I believe that collectable records are only worth what someone is willing to pay for them, so all my auctions have a low starting price in relation to their rarity and/or condition.
______________________________________________________________
My gradings are based on the system used by Record Collector magazine as described below
Mint: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.??
Excellent: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.??
Very Good: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

Postage and PackagingAll records are sent securely packaged in purpose made mailers with at least 2 cardboard stiffeners, clearly marked fragile.I always remove the record from the outer sleeve (to avoid seam split whilst in transit) and then insert the record and sleeve into a brand new polythene sleeve.
I only post items as per Ebay and Paypal terms & conditions, which require that items are sent by a method that is trackable. Due to this, please be advised that you check that the postages rates listed below are acceptable to you before bidding, but please be assured, P&P charges are only those incurred and represent no profit to me. UK packages are sent 2nd class recorded, as there appears to be only a minor difference in delivery times between 1st & 2nd class which the additional charge does not seem to warrant. If required, I will send 1st class (if requested) but there will be an additional charge to cover the extra cost.
I enter the tracking number for all packages on to Ebay either on the day of dispatch or the following day, so that you are fully aware of the progress of dispatched items.
I do combined shipping ,so if you win more than one item it will work out a lot cheaper on the postage if I send them in the same mailer. If you purchase more than one record, Please await receiving the invoice from me on the completion of the auction before paying, so that I can calculate the correct postage and you do not overpay.
Please note: If the value of the item, or combined items, exceeds the standard compensation rate for "signed for items", there will be no extra charge to you, as I will cover the additional cost for the increased insurance.
