BBC RADIO NOTTINGHAM



The title says it all, really.  BBC Radio Nottingham seems to have made a momentary diversion from its usual occupation of broadcasting to the Nottinghamshire area to issue a solitary single commemorating a visit of the Queen and Prince Philip to Nottinghamshire, which took place on the 28th of July 1977.  The record contained selected highlights from the radio station's ten-hour-long coverage of the events of the day, which isn't something I can imagine people listening to repeatedly.   There may be quite a few copies of the single in the Nottingham area, though, understandably, they appear to be scarce elsewhere.  Its catalogue number was NG-1, and it had a matrix number of DG-104, which, I have to admit, means nothing to me.  Presumably it was made through a local custom recording studio.
