Hi All,

I am just wondering what the BBC thinks of us sharing shows recorded as broadcast. Maybe we are seen as taking away the potential for sales of CDs of the back issues they do occasionally. I am sure no one has uploaded a JAM taken from a compilation CD.

hi again

we are really talking only about these 11 “missing” shows. We are not talking about 200 shows.

We can be absolutely sure the ABC doesn’t have them, as in the past 12 years they have run through all their early shows three, maybe four times and have never played these. They have responded to people asking about these missing shows saying they are playing all the shows they have. I think there is no point at all making any requests of them.

Is there any point, in your opinion, in contacting BBC Worldwide? Or does the last para below mean you think there isn’t? I think at least some of the group would be happy just to know if they do still exist.

Contacting sound archives is a waste of time, I too tried that already and was simply ignored. my contacts at radio 4 extra have investigated in any case, so I already know that s.a. only hold 3 editions of jam from before 1980.
If bbc have any recordings, it will be BBC Worldwide who have them, held as 25 min LP recordings. But if Worldwide have them, they are not 'lost'. If not, they stil are NOT lost, because ABC have them.
So we are really talking about money: the cost of digital conversion and' restoration, but bbc are facing budget cuts. ironically, if ABC had only one or 2 editions it might be affordable, but the cost per LP multiplied by 200 is not.
