Profile

The British Broadcasting Corporation first introduced its own record label in 1967. It has gone by various names through the years. Please be sure to use the correct label: 1967-70 [l=BBC Radio Enterprises] 1970-74 BBC Records 1974-89 [l=BBC Records And Tapes] 1990s- [l=BBC Worldwide]. With a remit to release singles and albums connected to TV and radio programmes (plus a few royal souvenirs and other oddities), its output has been extremely varied and takes in a large amount of spoken-word material as well as music in a wide range of styles. Of most interest to electronics fans are the numerous releases from the Corporation's own [a=BBC Radiophonic Workshop] and some of the more experimental theme music singles which appeared during the 70s and 80s.
