This BBC1 tape had first been introduced as a replacement for Devil May Care and remained in service until the introduction of Royal Daffodil in September 1969, therefore this tape had actually oversaw the introduction of colour television on 625 lines to the channel that November. The featured tracks here include 1. Golondrina; 2. I Love You Darling; 3. We Are Sitting By The Sea; 4. Dreaming; 6. Bastringades. Enjoy!!!!
Yes!!! You have just solved a 42-year-old mystery. I've carried the last piece in my head since the days of the Testcard and thanks to you, I've just found out that it's called Bastringades.

Great music ... but the dots either side of the D are missing! They were added in December 1965 on both BBC 1 and ITA. Otherwise, this is terrific stuff!
