Thanks @webuyrecords.bsky.social for the tribute to @golfyfun.bsky.social Vince Williams. I’d noted he was planning for the end but missed his passing, a few ago now. He really was one of the good uns and we did a couple of swaps back in the good times at the bad place. A collector and a gent RIP

A few years ago I was lucky enough to gain access to the BBC Written Archive and see what I could turn up on sound effects records.
One result of that was this long blog post detailing everything I could glean about the creation of the Death & Horror SFX LP.

When I started working in radio in 1970 I remember being supplied with 16 rpm transcription discs for syndicated shows right up to the mid-1970's
