Although The Black & White Minstrel Show vanished from our TV screens in 1978, the Minstrels were still permitted to sing on BBC Radio - because we couldn't see what a decadent bunch of racists they were ;-)
This 1981 MONO AUDIO cassette recording turned up at home a couple of days ago, and I know there are lots of people out there who would love to hear it, so here goes...

2. Underneath the Arches / Home Town / My Baby Just Cares for Me / If I Were a Rich Man / Who Wants to be a Millionaire? / Why Should the Rich Man have it All? / Side by Side
3. The Arcadians medley - What Charming Weather / I'll Meet You at Half-past Two.
