This is an attempt at a listing. Please e-mail me if you can help me with any further information.
The ones without reel
numbers & item numbers are details taken from blank-labelled test pressings. The
blank ones are held by the British Library Sound Archives, but, unfortunately,
their web site gives no details of what is on the records. Luckily for me, an
email from Ian Davis at the BLSA has provided me with more details. Thanks, Ian.
