Many thanks for the upload. I bought the BBC Mono Radiophonic LP with the swirly pink cover when I was about 11 or 12, and never looked back. Those Radiophonic Workshop guys were out of this world, ingenious and creative with very little hardware. Delia pushed boundaries by quietly rebelling, a true visionary of the back corridors.
