His first hit was a release of news reports from the D-Day landings timed to coincide with its 40th anniversary his proudest release an expensive, intricately-designed 13-cassette boxset of the Lord of the Rings, complete with 'a beautiful booklet and map of - what's it called? - Hobbit Land?' (Everyone told him it wouldn't sell, but he was so in love with it, he kept pushing regardless and even hand-delivered 20 copies to Harrods in London, which sold immediately).WikiMili Tracy Chapman discography Last updated August 18, 2021 Walwyn didn't really change the label that much, continuing to release records from the bizarre to the wonderful. 'He said, 'Would you like to run a record company?' And I said, 'That sounds rather fun.' That's how it happened. He was quite happy doing that, but one day his boss called him up. Walwyn had been the World Service's head of music, ensuring rock fans from Delhi to the Soviet Union could get a fix of The Rolling Stones. That success continued under Humphrey Walwyn, now 69 and living in retirement 'in beautiful West Dorset with a view over the fields and a little river'. The poems were by Ronald Duncan, the music composed by David Cain of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, creators of the Doctor Who theme and whose own first, legendary compilation album came out on BBC Radio Enterprises in 1968.

One track, October, features lyrics comparing autumn leaves to 'severed hands… that lie flat on the deserted avenue' - quite something for an album that was part of a series aimed at school teachers looking for music to accompany dance lessons.

'It's just some bloke talking about how big the universe is,' says Worthington, 'but it has the most amazing cover.'Īnother early favourite of Worthington's is The Seasons, a 'fascinatingly terrifying' album of 'scary electronics with equally scary poems read over the top' (it was recently reissued by cult label Trunk Records). It was amateurish - charmingly - from the start, releasing albums of Chinese classical music and a lecture by astronomer Sir Bernard Lovell. The label, founded in 1967, was initially called BBC Radio Enterprises before changing name to BBC Records in 1970, then BBC Records & Tapes two years later.
