Anyone else seen these? The original Radiophonic Workshop albums from the 1970s are now out on CD. There's some great stuff on there - a couple of belting Delia Derbyshire tracks, the full version of John Baker's 'New Worlds' (the closing theme from "John Craven's Newsround"), and plenty more besides. No sign of 'Quiller' or 'Reg', unfortunately, as neither of the albums come with bonus tracks - but hopefully if there's enough interest in them there might well be further volumes

I'll have to check them out. Incidentally what was the story behind the end of the Radiophonic Workshop? Was it some idiot that decided they weren't viable to the Corporation anymore.

Yes, that's exactly it, unfortunately. The Workshop was wound down in about 1995 or 1996, as it was decided that in the 'digital' age they were somewhat surplus to requirements. So they brought in Oxide And Neutrino instead or something.

I've also found out that "An Electric Storm" by White Noise, an electronic album made circa 1969 and featuring members of the Radiophonic Workshop, has also been reissued on CD. It's not exactly what you would call easy listening, but again it's essential for any fans of radiophonic music.

Just out of interest, what's everyone's favourite Radiophonic Workshop piece? Personally, I would have to go for the theme and incidental music from "The Changes", an early 1970s childrens series (based on the Weathermongers series of books by Peter Dickinson) about a sudden outbreak of ludditism (is that a word? is ludditry better?) on Earth in the near future. The score was issued on an EP, which is practically crying out to be included on any future Radiophponic Workshop release.

While I remember - does anyone know if Delia Derbyshire's set supporting Barrett-era Pink Floyd at the Roundhouse (I think) survives on tape anywhere?
