Although the recent series of KE's Radio Days on BBC7 (part 4 still available today on Listen Again, Friday 23.00hrs) was somewhat overloaded with music the second half of the last programme did contain a lost interview with Kenny going over his whole career. Interestingly, it was said it found with other Capital Radio archive material at the British Museum, of all places!

Does that mean I should be keeping all my Kenny stuff I recorded? I was taping the Kremmen stuff but found I had loads of the man himself here and there. A soon as I had converted Kremmen, I intended to bin the tapes.
I have a reasonable amount from '77 ish onwards until the latter days of Capital Gold. I know that there is at least one news broadcast as well.

Just listened to the show again and I meant to say British Library! There goes my short-term memory. I would guess that Capital have a pretty good archive and the broadcast said that some of it is stored at the library. I don't believe the line about dusty boxes. Only Capital or the guy who did the BBC7 compilation could tell you what is missing.

Little did I know when I wrote that message late last night that there would be a picture of said boxes to illusrate an article about copyright in today's Technology guardian technology.guardian.co.uk/weekly/story/0,,1925067,00.html |

As far as i'm aware Capitol have very little of his shows left - basically like most DJ based programmes they don't get recorded! (In those days there might have been the odd cassette made just for legal purposes but these would only have been kept for a matter of days. Imagine the amount of tape it would take to record 24 hours of radio everyday)
Kenny Everett left his entire tape archive to the National Sound Archive (part of the British Library) in his will and it is from his collection that these items will have been sourced.
So if you want to get rid of the tapes maybe you should contact the NSA and see if they would like them to add to the collection as a donation!

Thank you Richard for that information. I believe it is a legal requirement for all output to be recorded and stored but I don't know how long for. When I used to visit my local commercial station they used to have a reel-to-reel going at very slow speed, 1 7/8 or 15/16 ips. A few months ago a station was fined a large amount of money for not doing so. I can't remember which station it was.

I'm sure it still is a legal requirement - I remember a station I visited 5 or six years ago who used long play hifi video tape for this purpose - But i'm sure that after a certain amount of time elapses that these are either re-used or distroyed.
So what you have Maybe unique.
Richard
