I can only help with the Hazel Crest tape on this one.  Although, the titles of the tracks and their composers/artists aren't at all accurate, thanks to the shenanigans of one Fay Gibbs!

I don't suppose you'd mind sharing what you have of those other tapes?  I don't have any of those.

Thank you for helping, I can give you the tapes, albeit incomplete unfortunately, but how can I send them to you, is email alright by any chance?

For some reason, I’m afraid the link for Hazel Crest gives me a 404, any chance you could send it another way please?

The link works alright, thanks MusicMuzak.

Fay Gibbs certainly gave us Test Card enthusiasts a few headaches, there was a thread on here about her company, shame it’s gone. Does  anyone know the real identities of composers like Gordon Bennett, Thomas De Silva or P.A Ludlow please?. I’d take my hat off to whoever manages to track them down!!

The problem is, that the artists that Ms. Gibbs used quite liberally across entire tape's worth, (or half tape's worth), of tunes are actually of entirely different artists.  So, those that came under, 'P.A. Ludlow and Friends', for example, were actually by several different artists. 

You'd better get your hat off, even it is only briefly, as I've had a limited amount of success with this.  Albeit with only a small selection of titles, particularly with one specific tape in mind.  That being, 'Looks Good, Feels Good 2.'  I've found all but 2 of the tracks on that tape, via various methods.  Some by sheer luck from listening through some of the albums uploaded on here, it has to be said.  Once one is identified, then the rest of the album is scrutinised as well as other albums by the same artist, or even label, to see if there's any more to be had, as those who compiled the tapes would often use tracks from the same albums, but not always.

A lot of music by Himiko Kikuchi was used. Unfortunately none of her music is on CD or available digitally, and her LPs always sell for large sums. Maybe someone here can do a big Himiko Kikuchi truckload-upload!  8]
