A needle drop of my EX copy of the LP. I used ClickRepair - automated, declick 20, decrackle 20, x3 method; a non-destructive approach to removing some of the clicks and crackles.

60’s at the BEEB was a 15 LP set. This recording is from part two, side 10. The songs were broadcast in the wrong order. Unfortunately I don’t have side 11, which featured Point Me At The Sky and The Embryo from 1968-12-02.

Vernon Fitch notes on his Pink Floyd Archives site that: “these records were only available via subscription to radio stations for broadcast, and were issued with cue sheets and performance affidavits.” I bought my copy in a Notting Hill Gate record shop about 25 years ago.
