Apart from unreleased demos and withdrawn items the rarest records ever made are Transcription Discs. Made for Commonwealth countries connected to the BBC they were pressed in very small quantities with an expiry date printed on the label. Unfortunately in most cases these instructions were carried out to the letter.
The first three hundred or so “Top of the Pops” series are virtually extinct as are the early “Pick of the Pops” which morphed into the “In concert” series. There was a Jazz output, and a series of comedy live shows such as the Goons and Tony Hancock. All are gold dust
The packaging was very basic to say the least! It usually came as a brown plastic lined sleeve complete with cue sheets and the cover had a BBC logo on the front.
Down the line there would be variations on the sleeves such as the gatefold style.The format of the Top Of The Pops series had an announcer who would introduce the acts and conduct interviews between tracks. The interviews alone are priceless statements of historical narrative lost in the mists of time.The groups and artists all sang live and many of the songs are only to be found on Transcription discs.
