The BBC wiped almost everything it made and rarely permitted off-air recording, so a British broadcast shelf is necessarily short. These are the surviving exceptions held in the public domain by the Internet Archive — each one dated from the source item's own records, with commercial gramophone sides deliberately kept off this shelf and filed with the records instead.
