Topic: just a minute cds and tapes

Message 1 / 3

Hello,

I've just joined the group. I've had a look at previous messages but I
couldn't find and answer to my FAQ. Is there a list somewhere of all
the CDs and tapes of JAM and their ISBN numbers? I'm sure that I found
a fan's web site a couple of years ago that listed them, but I've long
forgotten where.

I would like to buy the very first JAM. I think it was for sale in
1996. I remember seeing it in the shops at the time but I was a poor
student then, and never got round to buying it. It's long since been
deleted but I thought that an ISBN might help me track it down. Any
ideas on where or how?

I think the sets became available on cd from JAM6 onwards but I see
that JAM2 was released on cd too. Is there any reason that JAM1 and
JAM3 to JAM5 were never re-released on cd?

Thanks,
Stephen.

Hi

going through the various questions

There is a list of all the CDs and tapes here
www.geocities.com/deanbedford/tapes.html

ISBN numbers - I don't know.

I don't think the first ever episode in 1967 has ever been released for
sale. I believe that the producers listened to it with a view to
releasing it for the first Just A Classic Minute release, but found it
wasn't up to standard, either in content or in audio quality. If you
mean the first tape release, the first ever was Silver Minutes, released
in 1992, and then "Just A Minute - Canned Laughter" was released at the
end of 1993.

if you're happy with tapes then I think I'm correct in saying all the
releases except those first two are available through amazon.co.uk and
presumably through other similar sites.

JAM2 was originally on cassette only but was re-released last year on
CD. I think there's no particular reason why the earlier editions were
cassette only except that cassettes were far more popular 10 years ago
than they are today.

Hope that answers all your points!

cheers, D

Hello again,

Thank you for the fast reply. I'm sorry if I wasn't clear. I was
talking about the "Just a Minute - Canned laughter" tape (I think).
I would like to find a copy to complete my collection but I don't know
how or where. Searching for "JAM" brings up too many false positives,
so I was hoping an ISBN would help me.

I was just puzzled why the BBC re-released JAM2 on cd but
never continued to re-release JAM3, JAM4, etc on cd now that CDs are
more popular. I think JAM2 is now out of print on both cassette and
cd.

Thanks,
Stephen.
