| Tape | NPS-JFC-B-057 | Batch | 2 | Length m | 10 | Date Rec’d | ||
| Title | BBC Archive Tape M69 JFC on NSPs 5 bands introduced | Contents | BBC archive tape. | |||||
| Quality | HIgh. | |||||||
| Notes | Stereo. Broadcast quality tape of JFC talking about pipe tunes and playing them. Obviously made with/for the BBC as he talks about their assistance with the double-tracking but it’s a bit odd, with long pauses after each of the clips, as though this was his original recording before editing. No sign of “5 Bands”, maybe meant “5 tunes” ? | |||||||
