Bob Monkhouse - Grundig Reel To Reel demo tape
Hello All,
I believe that Grundig issued a demo reel to reel tape featuring Bob Monkhouse. Does anyone have any more info on this and if theres any site where I can hear this? Thanks in advance. |

Re: Bob Monkhouse - Grundig Reel To Reel
I have this, sadly erased (not by me I hasten to add), and wouldn't mind hearing it either!

Re: Bob Monkhouse - Grundig Reel To Reel demo tape
That's a new one on me but I'm not surprised as Mr M was always very much into Film/Video and Audio recording /history-hence the vast personal archive he built up [see the BBC4 Doc]. He did do a number of Radio 2 programs re cinema and radio comedy in the 80s? and I may have some of those in my collection.

Re: Bob Monkhouse - Grundig Reel To Reel demo tape
I'm sure I have this tape somewhere but a quick search didn't find it.
If I come across it I'll mention it on here. I seem to remember it was on a 3" or 4" tape.... Peter W....Reelguy |

Re: Bob Monkhouse - Grundig Reel To Reel demo tape
Had a quick look but, like Peter I can't put my hand on it right now. When I come across the box I will take a pic. I seem to remember it was a small spool of EMI tape with white and red leaders with the 'Grundig....compered by Bob Monkhouse' printed on them.

Re: Bob Monkhouse - Grundig Reel To Reel demo tape
Just a quick update....found a Grundig RTR on Ebay today with the Monkhouse tape in the picture...no specific details on it though,but according to the box it's called 'Sound and About'.
If mods allow it,i can put a link up. |

Here's a crop of the auction photo. Can't see why the Mods would mind that

When common sense prevails the mods are very good.

Re: Bob Monkhouse - Grundig Reel To Reel demo tape
Just wondering if a Forum member obtained that Grundig RTR auction item in the end and what was the recorder model No again [Dansette/anybody?] for future reference-can't seem to find it via the web now.

Re: Bob Monkhouse - Grundig Reel To Reel demo tape
Hi Dave,
I've sent you a pm with the link to the listing...I did put the link on last week but the mods must have removed it....perhaps they thought it was mine...it wasn't...I wouldn't have sold it,not the Monkhouse tape especially. Cheers, Chris |
