I don't know how Bob managed

to get all these bits and pieces

like worn out records, but I'm

certainly glad he did.

I remember hearing these tracks

from my days as a TV engineer

This record is earlier 

made in 1962, we don't know

what time this was played

there was a label at the top

you can see where it was in

the enlargement

 

Malcolm Robb tells us that it was 

played in the 14.06-14.30 slot 

between 2nd September 1963 and 

2nd March 1964, and then in the 10.36-11.00 slot between 2nd March 1964 and 14th September 1964. 

Thank you Malcolm
