Another Audio Postcard from Australia - Dated June 1971 (Reel 2, Track 1)
This is the second of several small reel-to-reel tapes I have, in which Tony, Viv and their daughter Alison are sending messages back from Australia, to Peter and Ivy in the UK.
By this time they have realised they can record 4 different audio tracks onto a single 3” reel, at the lowest speed of 1 7/8. What I don’t know, is if all four tracks were recorded at same time, or what order they should be played in. I have nominally called them Tracks 1-4, but my order will almost certainly be wrong. In each case I will try to identify the year, at the very least, from what has been said.
This time the messages are much less raucous, compared with the first 1966 reel, and seem to focus more on their day-to-day lives.
(In this case they have used one of the classic Scotch ‘One Five Special’ reels, which were marketed for this purpose of international messaging. For some reason there are many splices on the tape itself - many of which needed to be repaired, because the adhesive had dried out).

I found this on the end of a reel-to-reel tape, which contained other stuff which would date it somewhere between the mid-1960s and the mid-1970s. I wonder if ‘Peter’ and ‘Deborah’ are still alive, and if they remember being asked to talk into a microphone by someone, whilst playing in the park? Initially I thought the address might be 16 Wadham Avenue, in Walthamstow, East London. But based on...
Forest School (Winnersh) - 24h Musathon c.1985
มุมมอง 1054 ปีที่แล้ว
Sometime during 1985, I think it was, the Forest School (Winnersh) Sixth Form decided to organise a 24 hour charity ‘Musathon’ event. Most of the acts were drawn from the school pupils and teachers, some of whom turned out to be more talented than most of us had realised. I’m not sure who came up with the idea, but Mr Norris (Pengy) kindly let us use the Sixth Form Centre to host the event. I s...

TV Programme about the Coombes Infant School - 1995
มุมมอง 1.1K4 ปีที่แล้ว
This is a TV programme about the Coombes Infant School, in Arborfield. I was a pupil at this school in the early 1970’s, so it was great to see the then Head Teacher, Sue Humphries, and my old teacher Carol Cooke. Sue Humphries established and then developed the school over many many years, and her determination and commitment to children’s education was astonishing. Back in the early years, wh...

Answerphone Messages from c.1960
มุมมอง 2.6K9 ปีที่แล้ว
This very early c.1960 answer-phone (actually an 'Ansafone') was found in the bottom of a cupboard in my Granny’s house, in 2005. It was used by my Grandpa at his London office. This 1/4 inch recording tape inside contains many recorded messages from when it was in use. Some of these must be pre-1971 as they make reference to costs/payments in pre-decimalisation terms. Most are cloth orders fro...

    "...would set you back £40,000, for which you could also have 3 Mazda MX5s, 2 MGFs and the very best Austin Healey". Sadly you couldn't anymore. A good spec runner Austin Healey 3000 today would cost you between 50-80 grand depending on condition.

      £40k in 1996 is the equivalent of £78k in today's money. MX-5 in 2023 is £25k. You'd be able to get three and £3k left over.
