<H2><A NAME="ABOUT">About the Album</A></H2>
The tracks on this CD had only previously been available on the BBC Transcription Service LP (ref. CN3012/S), issued in April 1978 for use at various radio stations of the BBC. A few copies of this are believed to have filtered onto the collector's market. Possibly only 50 copies were made, and it included a four-page insert.

According to an unnamed Australian vendor:
According to an unnamed Australian vendor:
<blockquote>
"BBC Transcription Discs are the absolute pinnacle of PROMO-ONLY LIVE
RADIO SHOWS and are simply IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!! They are virtually NEVER
offered for sale...we know of only one other dealer (in the UK) who very
occasionally has them...(we've been dealing worldwide since 1979). They
are never even advertised in the UK's bible of collecting, RECORD
COLLECTOR magazine. Less than 100 are ever pressed (there's word to the
effect that the true figure is in fact only between 30 and 50), and they
have only ever been sent to BBC-affiliated radio stations in the British
Empire (e.g Canada, New Zealand, Australia, even India, Malaya, South
Africa, etc...as well as within the UK of course). They ideally remain
the property of the station and are locked away in their libraries after
their solitary airing. They are quite simply the RAREST OF THE RARE in
the world of radio show discs."
