Flight of the Condor LP

[Gill]

Does anyone in the UK have this please?

[meebo1]

I have a feeling we have a tape cassette, but I don't think an LP

[Gill]

Thank you for the reply meebo but I don't have a cassette machine anymore. Sadly I will have to buy elsewhere I think.

[meebo1]

Gill, I think I found it at the weekend. I'll check it later and take a pic and details and send them to you. That is if you still want it

[Gill]

Yes, I still want it and Thank you for remembering.

[meebo1]

Sorry to disappoint you, it wasn't what you want. This one is called Flights of Fancy, also panpipes, and I wrote on it that side one is scratched.

[Gill]

No problem, thank you anyway.

Doesn't all of this panpipe music sound very much the same and would it really need to be a specific title. When you say LP....i assume that you want a Gramophone record and not a CD.
This is important, as panpipe music in the UK was not particularly widely available when LP Records were currently the dominant music carrier, in fact it was only at a point in the early 1990s that this style of south american music became popular, hence the dominant format will be CD and musicassette.

This type of music was only rarely available to buy on an lp via the few budget labels that existed, such as contour and Hallmark and often FW Woolworth would be the outlet for them., along with Asda.
Needless to say any surviving LP will in all likelihood be in generally poor condition due to be being owned by a then elderly person using a record destroying radio gram.

I think this is the one you are after, music from the BBC TV series that was only released on vinyl LP & tape cassette. I remember selling this in the shops I worked for.



If was eventually released on CD a few years later,

I purchased this LP when the documentary was on TV - mid/late 80's I think - and as far as I remember an LP meant 'Long Playing' record at 33rpm.

Back in the 80's I was in my 30's which I do not class as old. I'm now in my 50's and I still do not class myself as old or elderly and I've only ever had Hi Fi units to play LP's and singles on and have never owned a radiogram. I've also never destroyed an LP or single. The many I still have are all in excellent condition.
