Ceefax tapes completion Project:- Just a few more extra requests

[John_Fred]

I've managed to whittle down some of the titles I've been looking for to complete Ceefax tapes, but here's a few which have managed to evade me.

If anyone can help, then I, (and a few others, no doubt), would be eternally grateful.

Unfortunately I'm not able to help, JF, but I was wondering if you could tell us more about the test card and Ceefax projects? As a kid who loved listening to test card music, I'm intrigued.

I'd like to help you out, John. Our New Year is winding down, but I am still in a very good mood.

Please note that I will keep the following links for 7 days, after 7 days I will delete them as I have run out of MEGA storage space and I need to clean them regularly

Thanks!

Thanks as always, Yin Zi for uploaded that which is most precious to us Ceefax aficionados!

Gannett, this project is exactly what it is, i.e. getting hold of the tracks that make up the tapes played by the BBC during their, 'in-vision'/test card, broadcast segments, and putting them together to recreate them for our own listening enjoyment.  If you're interested in all thing test card music, I might suggest you look up the Test Card Circle.

For those interested, there are now an additional couple of Ceefax tapes available, here.  https://librarymusicthemes.com/index.php?topic=5663.0

If you're interested in seeing the various cue sheets for the Test Card and Ceefax tapes you'll find them here: https://librarymusicthemes.com/index.php?topic=5607.msg37999#msg37999. The mega link it's still live.

No problem, John, to be honest, although I shared the albums

But you edited and organized the albums and eventually made them into the BBC series, and I think you were the one who worked the hardest.

While I am not personally interested in the BBC series, I know there are many people on the forum who are interested in them, so you are doing a public service for which people should be grateful.

Thanks

Thanks for those, Yin Zi.

There's no rush, though.

Hey - do you have that mega link to the cue sheets? I'm trying to make a document with all the cue sheets (plus some other info I've gotten), and this would be really helpful - the topic is down.

This was originally shared on LMT back in 2022. The TCC has a more up to date version available to members. Why not think about joining? It could save you a lot of time.

I would have to convince myself to purchase a DVD drive, the DVD-ROM archive of the older issues (mainly for whatever PasB-esque material they may have there), and then the membership. All in all, I should consider getting a thumb drive before then. A bit hard being a foreigner, and even worse than that, a foreigner who never saw CEEFAX with his own eyes - a keen ear drove me there, I stayed to learn how to make stuff with it.

In addition, someone uploaded this under yet another name somewhere else, which I had downloaded - unfortunately, neither of these have the half-hour tape selections, most of the special/holiday tapes, or an actual sheet for Girofle Girofla.

And besides, being a freelance researcher has been an interesting journey for me. For one, I got in contact with the most prolific **COMPLETE** trade test tape poster of the last 5 years, Paul Sawtell, and managed to arrange getting the PasR's for the 1959-63 sequence of BBCtv tapes (the 1955-59 seqeunce is free of charge on the TCC website), which leaves only the 1963-72 sequences on BBC1 and BBC2 (save the unknowns of early BBC2) to completing the half-hour tapes. I may speak with him about those, but that feels a bit greedy imo.

I may post those PasB's that I do have up at some point if enough people request it, but I would be caution against searching for those tracks - it's all BBC LP's, which is a nightmare that probably requires speaking to Paul again, and getting those tracks (or, since he has it, the complete tape) from him.

I'll re-read your post when I'm less tired as it seems to be packed with fascinating info!!. But do I take it you're after the 30 minute Trade Test cue sheets? If so I found these on my travels five years or so ago. Any use? ==> pixeldrain.com/u/6dXUahqA
