Actually it was used by the BBC in compiling their test card music tapes in 1975.

[nidostar]

So, library music can be test card music but music featured on test cards is not always library music?

[Greta]

Yeah, kind of a mine field, as everyone can see.
For me test card music is not to be considered library music because it can host whatever type of music, yet it could be considered "library-related" somehow.
Not even a genre actually, it just takes its name from that particular telecast (we used to have that also here in Italy and it was called "musica monoscopio RAI").
Something like the elevator music, it could be any tipe of music...

[nidostar]

Yes, I thought it worth clarifying. It wasn’t unusual for the BBC test cards to feature commercial recordings. One that springs to mind was Henry Mancini’s Visions Of Eight album. As you say it’s a difficult one.

It has to be said that a good bulk of Test Card Music WAS Production Library Music In The UK. More so in the 1960's when most of the Mozart Edition Library was used and then Anglo Continental Music in the 1970's. Maximus, Trevor Lyttleton, Fay Gibbs and Funtastik Music all followed. Plus a lot of other libraries too. So whereas ITV in the UK used commercial discs, this was hardly the case on the BBC.

I think BBC1's tape Soul Coaxing has to be greatest odd one out, with the majority of tracks being from commercially available sources, including Herb Alpert & the TJB!

Just as an addition bit of information in regard to the use of music via the test card by the BBC; there were instances of them using what seemed to be commercially available music, (something they tried to avoid due to the policies regarding, 'needle time'), but was actually slightly different, 'takes', or recordings that weren't commercially available.  Whether this applies to Mr. Chicken Curry's output found on this album, is debatable.  But there's many other instances of music by well-known artists being used that are, 'takes', of popular songs which weren't commercially available.  The BBC Radioplay albums being a prime example.

I've never been convinced about the "out-takes" theory. The commercial tracks were often simply taken from commercially available LPs, with the only stipulation being that those particular LPs were not commercially available in the UK at the time the tracks were copied onto tape.
