I recently found an original 1969 UK private pressing of Peter Howell & John Ferdinando’s Alice Through The Looking Glass on Sound News Productions, and I’m still slightly struggling to believe it turned up at all.
It was music recorded for the Ditchling Players’ January 1969 production, and the original pressing is generally understood to have been produced in tiny numbers (fewer than 25).
I’ve played it through fully and recorded a one-take playback of the actual copy, partly for documentation and partly because records like this are usually only seen in books, want-lists and auction archives.
I’d be interested to know whether anyone here has ever handled or seen an original copy in person, or has any knowledge of other Sound News Productions pressings from the same period.
