Transacord: Sounds of Steam
Further information
Transacord: Sounds of Steam covers all known UK Transacord-branded issues on record, CD and cassette.
BFP/TRP is absolutely chuffed to say that this publication is possibly the best yet, thanks to the support of both Transacord and the National Railway Museum's Image and Sound Collections Department, which is custodian of the Peter Handford collection.
Full description of the book
Bristol Folk Publications is a small (but perfectly flawed) publishing company that plans to publish occasionally rather than often. In this way quality, rather than quantity, is the watchword. BFP's manifesto is simple: to publish books about Bristol and books written by Bristolians (and adopted Bristolians).
Just published for steam railway buffs everywhere, "Transacord: Sounds of Steam and other Transports of Delight" (to give it its full titles) is a comprehensive discography of Peter Handford's Transacord label, covering the early independent years from 1955 to 1961, the Argo Transacord years from 1961 to 1980 and the later ASV and SPV Transacord years. The book includes full-colour illustrations of record sleeves and has been produced with the co-operation of both Transacord and the National Railway Museum.
