ECENTLY a British seaman overseas wrote asking the BBC for catalogue numbers of certairi records. "I walked into a record shop a short time ago," he wrote, "and asked for Orpheus in the. Underworld. The Oriental behind the counter said: ‘He’s gone out, he be back plenty soon quick,’ so I just had to laugh and walk out. Some weeks later I was in the Argentine and asked for the same record. The assistant went, as I thought, to look for it but came back with half-a-dozen vigilantes (the Argentine police), and my pals and I spent the next half-hour trying to convince them that we didn’t belong to any political party. We managed to get away in the end, and I decided to find out from you the number of the record and only ask for it by that."
