There were great surplus electronics places in Toronto..I remember when
Teltronics on Yonge Street had piles of World Transcriptions for a quarter a

I'd been older and wiser I'd have bought all of 'em. I know one collector

found a ton of original 16" Goon Show transcriptions at that place.
While at our college radio station we received a set of Goon Shows on 12" LP
'transcriptions.' I dubbed them all onto tape.

Ah - now we're in one non-classical area of interest to me. <G>
Of the half-vast collection of Goon shows, a subset was distributed (I
believe on the 16" transcriptions dlennick cites) to American public
radio stations. A subset of those without the musical interludes was
published on commercial, 12" LP. (Of course, I am not counting "Bridge
on the River Wye" or the execrable film "Down Among the X Men".)
Among those not offered to U.S. radio are some gems, but in general the
best (most nearly sane) were culled for the colonies and many of the
best of those made it to LP. Still, I miss the piano race and the one in
an incomprehensible pseudo-Scottish language. Somewhere among my
unlabelled or mislabelled open reels are a couple of 1 7/8 ips tapes
with the collection of an Aussie with whom I was friendly some forty
years ago.
