These were 16" coarse groove discs, from the International Service...relatively
unedited compared to the 12" microgroove pressings that came along in the sixties.
I transferred them about 10 years ago. The Beeb has put out two large sets of Goon
Shows (20 double sets, 4 shows per set) although they included some clinkers, but
there's still a lot more Goonery to be mined. And the CD issues are as unedited as
it's been possible to get, so all the politically incorrect dialogue you think you
remember from 1958 is restored (Ellington, don't stand over there, you'll ruin the
colour scheme!).
