Reading about the miners' strike on here sent a chill down my spine. The strike was only a month old that time, and it was to run until March '85.

Loved that evil sounding synth music at the end. Oh and the Ceefax memories too

Love the Samba Bamba tape, was such a refreshing change to the other music being played at the time!!

One of my abiding memories was always the quick moving number at the top centre

😁.  THE.  FIRST. TRACK. REMINDS.  ME.  OF. THE.  1960S.  MUSIC I.  LOVE.  THIS.  14.  YEARS.  IN.  HIGH. SCHOOL. SWEET. MEMORIES.  !

Just came here to check ceefax for some share prices.  It seems my Lehman Brothers and Ratner’s shares are going great guns.  I can go to bed relaxed now.  Thanks for posting.

Thank you for this of course as before. The test card briefly with tone and then Ceefax of course with music. 10 out of 10 for sure too-well done!

last one "The Big sea dream" is track from album conducted by Stipica Kalogjera and played by Studio´s orchestra of Opus / another name of DRO Bratislava in this compilation)

Yep mate, Divny Pocit aka Strange Feeling or "A Curious Sense" is on Opus LP 9113 0267, track A4, from this tape The Caress (track 11 on the BBC tc tape, LP track B5) and Capricetto (track 14, LP track B6).

More BRNO Orchestra material appeared on a 1986 BBC Ceefax tape, Good Days as well...

Same on my copy of the cue sheet (TLN20 704B611) - it's the track after Fantasy (which itself was faded out prematurely on that Ceefax AM version).

Dahtime max Temperature forecast for 10th April 1984 was 9C to 13C.  Back then nobody batted an eyelid when April daytime temperatures didn't reach or scraped double figures, suddenly nowadays on same date it's talked like it's absolutely freezing.

That song at the end of this video is called Slam - Alien Radio

Sadly we have lost some of the middle tracks from one of the uploads as the user of the upload has turned it into a private video.

Why did he/she feel the need to suddenly turn it into a private video?

Tuesday 10th April 1984-a date I remember very well, as it was the day I left school forever-yippee!
It is nice to watch Ceefax like this too, particularly of course as it has now sadly ended for good!
Thank you for the posting-well done!

Here's are below some of the cuesheets of Tusla: 1 Tusla,2 Gavotta, 3 Zobra, 4 Freewheeling, 5 Where Are You, Where Am I. 6 Sea Dream as used of Tusla BBC2 13.08.81 to 14.05.84.

after school flashback here, Think of a Number & Tuckers Luck on telly..wayheyyy.

TOCR79 - sorry for misrepresenting SK and thanks for clarifying!. The CZ/SK distinction is complex for an outsider when Czechoslovakian era recordings from Brno Pops & Gustav Brom sit alongside DRO Bratislava and SK composers.
I know Slova performed by Marcela Laiferová + Vel'ky sen mora by Modus (maybe Lehotsky singing?).Track 5 is Svetlo v Tvari as will have remembered! (I heard as a song performed by Jana Kocianova). But no ideas for Pavol's track 1, or the true/original identity of trk2+3

Very good stuff all, a couple of Test Card Circle experts have just re-constructed the tape, track 1 is Samba Bamba, indeed by Gustab Brom, they have it on an RTVS tape - so not, unless anyone can help, available commercially.

Gavotta and Prelude to Zorba are on Opus LP 9116 0725 "Svet Muzikalov", BRNO Studio Orch, conducted by Jiri Hudec.

Track 4, Free Wheeling (Slova) by Karel Vlach and his Orchestra, a Czech Radio recording (flute played by Jiri Stivin"

Although these recordings were technically by session musician groups than a particular band (hence "Opus" Orchestra - from the name of the record label),
there's a clue in the video  "GUSTAV BROM Dingo (funky jazz big band))" - at 3:00 you'll hear the similar phrase to Track 1 ending (Tekla aka Tulsa by Pavol Zelenay).

Later in this tape, Pet (mazlíček) is by saxophonist Josef Audes - a great member of Brom's orchestra!

Do contact me if for more details about other tracks, which were CZ songs

Tracks being played here by "The Opus Orchestra" are: 1) Tulsa, 2) Gavotta, 3) Zorba, 4) Freewheeling, 5) Where Are You, Where Am I, 6) Sea Dream.

7 1 hour tapes in use at the time on BBC 2 at this time, Tulsa being one of the oldest, guess this was the final week of the school holidays before Daytime On Two returned, so Ceefax running through to 5.10 p.m.!!!. Thought there would be more pages in the sequence, often more were added during the early afternoon...
