Collector finds more than 90 missing recordings




More than 90 lost recordings of BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs have been discovered by an audio collector from Lowestoft in Suffolk.

xoslotzผ่านเว็บ The trial is free and free to play, and you can try it anytime, anywhere, 24 hours a day.

Bing Crosby, Dame Margot Fonteyn, James Stewart, David Hockney and Dirk Bogarde are among the big names who appear in the episodes found by Richard Harrison.

He described finding the missing recordings which date back to the 1960s and 1970s as "a great feeling".

Former Discs presenter Sue Lawley said: "Thank God for Mr Lowestoft."

The voices on the rediscovered tapes speak from a bygone era; clipped, formal, with the odd American accent thrown in.

Amongst the US stars are not just Crosby and Stewart but one of the most popular entertainers of the first half of the 20th Century, the actress and singer Sophie Tucker. Unlike these men, but like many others on the list, Tucker is no longer a household name.

Many of the luxuries chosen by the interviewees being cast away are also of a different time.

Fonteyn asks for the kind of "mask that skin divers use".

Bogarde wants John Singer Sargent's "haunting" portrait of the Sitwell family, pointing out that he could turn it into a tent or a raft if he needed to.

Bob Monkhouse asks for a "large colour picture of Marilyn Monroe to remind me of what I'm supposed to forget".
