    They do sound effect records for amateur dramatic groups, and are VERY
    quick to send stuff off by mail (they take telephone orders and allow
    you to pay by credit card).
    
    Now, can I put in a free plug for the Digital Really Amateur Theatrical
    Society play which is on in May? No? Oh, sorry...

403.6Phone Number43245::STODDARTFri Apr 21 1989 16:516
    I've got one number for the BBC (01-580 4468) I've tried ringing but
    haven't got an answer yet. Have a go yourself.

    Try ringing another local radion station. I worked at one for a while,
    and we used to get loads of enquiries for all sorts of recordings.

403.8Beg, Steal or BorrowSHAPES::COURTNEYMShine like silver,Burn like goldWed Sep 06 1989 20:3919
    
    Our local Library has a record lending section which usually has
    about 20 sound effects albums available - some are a bit scratchy
    though...It costs a nominal sum to borrow a record...presumably
    they'll go to CD at some point - I haven't been in there for ages.
    
    Alternatively, try the CD lending places that are springing up
    everywhere.

    I used a BBC sound effects track "lunatics laughing" which is about
    45 seconds long, and using a finger on the record to slow it down
    or speed it up, and by recording various parts twice acheived a
    5 minute session of laughing which wasn't too repetetive.
    
    btw, The Jam "Sound Affects" album cover was a copy of the cover
         design of the BBC series.
