"Audio" - 60s UK label - complete catalogue shots

[Moon Monkey]

If anyone would like a copy, here's something to go with Trkizbrki's amazing rips - a complete numerical listing for the 10" 78rpm discs of the Audio label, taken from a 1972 Emil Ascher catalogue. They call it "BMP Audio" there:

Thanks for this lovely catalog! I think the tracklist for BMP 137 is actually for a 10 inch LP version of BMP 137, which I have seen on an old eBay listing a while ago. They must've released the 12 inch LP version likely in the 70s. Plus, some tracks from the 12 inch LP version do not appear in the 10 inch LP version's tracklist.

By the way, I've seen you mentioned the 1961 Emil Ascher catalog on the Library Catalogue thread, and I'm interested in seeing the numerical list for the Video Moods 78s in the catalog. I feel like this could fill up gaps in this label's info. Could you share the pages from that section please? Thanks.

Yes, I was going to do that one next! I've got a few pages for Video Moods. Not sure if it's a complete run but there's a fair bit. Happy to share them. It's 10pm here so I'll wait till morning and nice natural light. I should have then online in about 12 hours, maybe slightly more. Glad you enjoyed the Audio pages!

Just checked - I've got complete listings of the 78s up to EA 1111, which appears to be c.1964. Then there's a gap in the catalogues unfortunately, but things resume c.1972 with track listings for EALP 103 to 109 (and 398!). Then I've got a single page for EA 110-118 which is just album titles with a short description.

EDIT: Oops, 398 is an Impress, not a Video Moods.

Thanks for this Moon Monkey. I do find it interesting going back over the history of library music and the odd things one can pick up by poring over catalogues. Mind you the amount of work required to produce a catalogue like this at the time was massive. Each page had to be typed by hand on a "stencil" which was then placed on a duplicator containing ink and numerous copies printed. The stencils were fairly unforgiving if you made a typing error though there was a correcting fluid you could use to try to fix it. Multiply that by each page that needed reproducing and it could take days to come up with the final product. And we moan about our ink-jet printers. Happy days!!
