They were not intended to be available for sale to the general public for contractual reasons: "Typically BBC Transcription Services pressed 100 copies of each disc only with instructions to the overseas radio network to destroy the disc at the end of the licence period." (Source: Wikipedia), but ,in the early 1990s many international BBC libraries sold their stocks to the public. The original BBC Transcription Services labels were green and white. Secondary labels (BBC Transcription Services (2) are conspicuous by their black and white labels. Please use BBC Transcription Services (2) for bootlegs and counterfeits.
