An oddity, this.
Less a label than a broadcasting service, BBC Transcription Servicediscs were only made available to overseas radio stations for broadcast purposes and were not made available for sale to the general public.Typically BBC Transcription Services pressed 100 copies of each disc only with instructions to the overseas radio network to destroy the disc at the end of the licence period. Unsurprisingly, these discs are pretty rare.
The original BBC Transcription Services labels were green and white (as here), and featured BBC-exclusive performances by the artists, in this case from the show Folk Song Cellar which ran from the mid-60\'s on the World Service, hosted by Robin Hall and Jimmie McGregor (who would also often perform).
I\'d say judging by the cat. no. and other discs I\'ve found online, this is probably from around \'69 - \'70.
There\'s no track listing on the disc, though the previous owner has included what looks like one handwritten on a piece of scrap paper (see pic). Thanks to the kind intervention of an enthusiastic Folk expert (thanks Chris !), we have worked out that the tracklisting is as follows:
Side 1:12/1967Robin Hall & Jimmy MacGregor - Camp In The CountryThe West Country Trio - I Will Give My Love An AppleThe West Country Trio - SylvieNoel Murphy - Courtin\' In The Kitchen
Noel Murphy - Whiskey In The Jar
