Bobster, Jack Jackson raided the Gramophone Library for his comedy extracts [sadly his programs don't seem to be archived-he was a pioneer.
Yes Bill, you're right I'm sure, it was probaly that or it's current incarnation but I'm not sure.
I was just using the program's title but if you wanted to be pedantic, at least one item was Shellac and "vinyl" wouldn't really cover all the material on disc the Beeb has.
Gramophone or Record would probably be more accurate but a lot of people are just interested in the sound not the source which is a bit of a shame really. I've not had a chance to hear the whole thing myself yet but I like the bits I did catch. So many interesting programs-so little time
