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.

My goodness that is one heck of a share Tony. Very many thanks. I must admit to not having given that much attention to Funtastik tracks in the past. I knew music from that library tended to dominate the Ceefax tapes and have heard them in the background while pottering around the house. But until now I had never actually sat down and taken the time to listen to the music. It really is good stuff. And I particularly like the Shakatak-style tracks such as Nightwalkin'. Cheeky but excellent.

Also definitely helps with completing tapes in lossless! Keeping Ahead, Whatever It Takes, Timetextures, Just Keep Falling In Love, Cloud Surf Sunset, Eye Candy, Elcardo, Super Dreams, Cavo Paradiso, and Hey Rozalinda are now complete in lossless! - In addition, 9 of the first 15 tracks of Secret Crystal are here as well (The other ones are on FUN1003, FUN1019, or I haven't identified another point they were issued on).

It got me thinking that Media Music Special Edition was released after the Hi-“Q” Series albums were published.

Here is the list I assume. That matrices are now different as of Media Music Release No. 5.

No. 1 - MMUS (1967/1968)
No. 2 - MEDS (1968)
No. 3 - MEMS (1968)
No. 4 - MEAS - (1969)
No. 5 - MEBS - (1969)
No. 6 - MECS - (1970)
No. 7 - MEGS - (1971)?
No. 8 - MEHS - (1972) (Confirmed via a Billboard trade ad)
No. 9 - MEJS - (1973)?
No. 10 - MEKS - (1974)? (Promoted as the American Bicentennial collection)
No. 11 - MELS - (1975)?
No. 12 - MEOS - (1976)?
No. 13 - MEPS - (1977)
Special Edition - MMSE-1 to MMSE-10 (1978)? Hi-Q albums released between 1977 and 1978.
No. 14 - MEQS - (1979)?
No. 15 - MERS (1980)?
Special Edition No. 11 to No. 16 (1979-1980)

Some of the Hi-“Q” prefixes SoCalRyan assumes reflects the release date.

OM - 1977
PM - 1978
QM - 1979
RM - 1980
