About this Item

First edition. 12-inch, 33 1/3 rpm long-playing record. Originally recorded by the British Council for the BBC. The poems listed on the central labels are: ''The Rabbit Catcher'', ''The Applicant'', ''A Secret'', ''Cuts'', ''Stop Dead'', ''Nick and the Candlestick'', ''Medusa'', ''Purdah'', ''A Birthday Present'' and ''Amnesiac''. In his description of the original British Council recording, Tabor (D12) lists three poems which don't appear here and gives variant spellings of two which do. He makes no mention of this in-house BBC record. There are a number of textual differences with the published versions. All of the poems were less than a month old and three of them had been completed only the day before. Ink stamp on each central label: ''Refer to Copyright Dept. before broadcasting''.A little surface scratching, otherwise fine in the original printed sleeve which is slightly creased. Rare, to say the least.
