Thread Name: 'Lost' recordings of Charles Chilton
Subject: 'Lost' recordings of Charles Chilton
'Lost' recordings of musical docu-dramas by Charles Chilton; last heard on the NZBC - National Programme in the 1970s - are now at:
http://www.mediafire.com/?t9ics9twjofe6
* Oh - What a Lovely War! by Charles Chilton. In memory of all of those who served and died in the trenches of WW1.
* Botany Bay by Charles Chilton. The founding of New South Wales, Australia.
* The Victory by Charles Chilton. A musical presentation about HMS Victory, Nelson's flagship.
* Musical Portrait of London by Charles Chilton.
With reference to the below Wiki entry I wonder if any other recordings have survived in the public domain?
See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Chilton
Of particular interest would be the following:
* Shakespeare's London
* Dickens' London
* London's Pleasure Gardens
* Cries of London
* Ballad History of Samuel Pepys
P.S. Many of the Journey into Space programmes are at TheBox.bz
