Also, on a tangent, are there any discographers here with interest in
sound effect collections, particularly those from the British
Broadcasting Corporation?
I have a passing interest in Sound Effects collections, but I have
done no formal discographical work on the subject. I do have a
1977/78 BBC Sound Effects Catalogue, which could be a good starting
point. It lists the effects that were then available on discs from
the Sound Effects Department, and sold to other broadcasters by BBC
Transcription Service. It does not, alas, include a cross-reference
to the LPs distributed through commercial channels.
The BBC Sound Effects Library is now available on 60 CDs. I assume
that many of the same effects were originally part of the disc library.
I believe I also have a set of CBS sound effects LPs, with a printed
track list.
