Radio talk
Scope and Content:
Radio documentary programme illustrating a 'typical' English village. Includes mood music and sound effects. The village is Great Chesterford where Carl Huson lived, although it is not named in the programme and some of the recordings used were from surrounding villages. This recording also includes (on Side B of the original 33rpm disc) as separate tracks the music and sound effects used in the programme in order that the programme could be recreated with the narration in another language.
