Stereo recordings of Time Kode, In The Open, and Start Up exist within the Test Card Circle. The others only exist as off air recordings, unless anyone knows otherwise.

Only members of the Test Card Circle are allowed to supply copies of BBC Test Card Music to each other
My suggestion to you would be to join the Test Card Circle

Yes - The Test Card Circle is a great place to hear so much library music both used on the Test Card on the BBC, ITV and Channel 4 as well as all that library music used throughout the day in intervals between programmes. The 60s-80s in the UK were golden years of tv presentation for Library fans. If you want to join go to testcardcircle.org.uk you will not regret it - great music, a really fantastic magazine, four times each year,  (includes articles by me ! ) , an annual convention, a summer get together, a lively Facebook group and a true family of people.

Thanks for all the help and advice, the reason I'm asking for the tapes is because they used to be on YouTube but sadly the account got deleted and the musics disappeared as well

It's very likely there was a copyright claim. If this happens repeatedly, Youtube deletes the channel.
