  • Now here is a gentle beauty from BBC1. Hope you enjoy these soothing, sublime, tranquil and incredibly warm grooves as much as I do! Oh, if only the easy listening compilations you can buy in shops were as good as this! :-)Thanks for listening to this and the other videos and much kind feedback! Many thanks to brilliant and amazing buddy Jay for much help in putting this together. Love and best regards to all on You-Tube, Ben and Pheebster ;-) Until the next programme, I return you to a trade test transmission and some music :-)

      Yes it's a lovely tape. Also worth listening to is its BBC2 "twin," Victorian Drawing Room, which was on that channel at the same time.

      William Gardner Orchestra tracks could also be heard on Victorian Drawing Room, Well Alright, Flying High, Dixieland Parade 3 and House of the Rising Sun.
      I'm enjoying putting together some playlists that include whole BBC trade test tapes from Christopher Williams uploads and highlighting the music. He gets a lot of unfair stick, but I think he's very creative.

      The Andy Novello tracks on Villa Vista and Victorian Drawing Room are also worth a special mention. Track 2 on both tapes is by this orchestra, and the final track (seldom heard on air) on Victorian Drawing Room finishes the tape off nicely.

      The William Gardner Orchestra and the Andy Novello orchestra tracks sound very similar.
      But distinctively st the start or second track of Villa Vista, an instrument that played on Andy Novello Orchestra tracks that did not play on William Gardner Orchestra tracks.

      The great news is that a few of those tapes have been uploaded onto RUclips.
      You have to do a bit of jiggery pokery on the Christopher Williams uploads to just hear the music and avoid hearing his continuity announcements, engineering. announcements, programme recordings and the same tracks twice. Though beware it's not Ceefax teletext or Testcard F with BBC 1 or [B][B][C] 2 COLOUR e.g.
      From your list out of christopher williams uploads

      Paul Sawtell might have the tracks to create Victorian Drawing Room accompanied by Test Card F. Christopher Williams may well have created his videos that include the Victorian Drawing Room tape.

    • @paulsawtell3991
      @paulsawtell3991 4 года назад +1

      If you really want to be picky, the white grid was much fatter, the F was too, and the top serif was nowhere as long-reaching. The BBC1 ident is not exactly in the right font either! This is an electronically generated version based more upon the later eprom creation rather than the slides used at the time of this tape. But, hey! who cares!!

      Victorian Drawing Room sounded very similar to Villa Vista. Unless Christopher Williams has uploaded it as one of his famous or infamous mocks (whatever way you look at them) I can only find Victorian Drawing Room itself on RUclips.

      Sadly the victorian Drawing Room is now a Private Video. Really annoying that.
      There was another track to Victorian Drawing Room I forgot I added to the playlist called Rockin' Strings. It's one of the from the Archives tracks. Only because I remember hearing it from cwilliams1976 defunct channel I added to the playlist. I had no idea (nor did anyone else at the time, apart from the broadcasters who were playing them) what any of the tracks from varioua test card tapes played on BBC1, BBC2 and Channel 4 over the years when they were playing them accompanying the test card and teletext in-vision. Rockin Strings is still on the Playlist thank goodness.
