The 50 year period of broadcast copyright under the UK's Copyright Acts 1956 and 1988 has expired for all items included in this collection first broadcast over 50 years ago: · Copyright Act 1956, section 14(2): https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1956/74/section/14/enacted · Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988, section 14(2): https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1988/48/section/14 These recordings were mostly made from radio repeats aired prior to 2020, so do not contain any cuts for political correctness. Accordingly, they may be unsuitable for listeners of a nervous disposition. Any recordings made from repeats aired in or after 2020 have been carefully checked to make sure they do not contain any censorship cuts. Repeats sourced from vinyl disc recordings made in the past by the old BBC Transcription Service, for sale to overseas broadcasters, will contain other cuts. It was impossible to store a complete 30 minute broadcast on a 33 rpm vinyl disc, which had a maximum running time of about 27 minutes. Also, the commercial stations which bought the discs typically wanted up to 5 minutes of material cut, to enable them to play local advertising in that time instead.
