BBC Radiophonic Workshop's Pink Album

Stuart's featured album is the self-titled 1968 compilation by the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, also known, due to its rather lurid cover, as the Pink Album.

What's in Stuart's pan-dimensional, totally imaginary record box this week? Well how about some Thai funk, some saxy Stranglers, a bonus cut from the Prog Prom and a jazz rock tribute to Bill Oddie. Also, Genesis, Aphrodite's Child and Squarepusher.

Plus, as the BBC says goodbye to its legendary Maida Vale studios, Stuart's featured album is the self-titled 1968 compilation by the MV based BBC Radiophonic Workshop. An essential collection of work from 1962 to 1968 featuring music from David Cain, John Baker and Delia Derbyshire. it's also known, due to its rather lurid cover, as the Pink Album.
