Gilbert and Sullivan - The Pirates of Penzance (complete, BBC, 1989)

Recorded off-air when first broadcast on BBC Radio 2 on 15 October 1989 at 14.05. I used a C120 tape (60 minutes on either side) to get both acts without a break, but that meant the tape was extremely thin. You can hear the result.
