BBC Radioplay LP

This BBC Radioplay Music Library LP was exclusive to the British Broadcasting Corporation for use in its radio broadcasts. From the 60s until 1988 the BBC was only allowed to play a restricted number of hours-per-week of commercially available music (this was due to the Needle-Time agreement between the Musician's Union and Phonographic Performace Liimted). The BBC got around this restriction by playing music that was not commercially available in the UK (either live or alternative take versions of tracks or music not commercially available in the UK at the time of broadcast), and produced a series of Radioplay LPs to be used for this purpose. These Radioplay LPs are therefore extremely rare.

The back of the LP has the following synopsys of the film:
One of the current trends in the film world is to include a strong soundtrack that can stand up musically apart from the film as well as emphasising the drama on-screen. The soundtrack for the film "Night of the Comet" is one example of high quality.

"Night of the Comet" is black comedy Sci-Fi fantasy in which an eagerly awaited comet is marvelled at overnight by 99% of hte population who are swiftly reduced to red dust., leaving two young, good-looking heroines to struggle with the aftermath. Scary stuff, but a good strong dose of the music will do no harm at all, for it covers the best in contemporary American melodic rock/pop, moving easily from harder-edged cuts such as "Hard Act to Follow" (a single for Diana DeWittO to the smooth, romatic ballad "Learn to Love Again".

If you are planning to stay up all night star-gazing, you could do worse than listen to this album at the same time.
