THE LOST RECORDINGS
The Band of the B.S.A.P.In 1978 the Band Master of the British South Africa Police, Supt. Derek Tasker, approached the studios of the African Service of the RBC with the idea of making a commemorative recording of the BSAP Band. Over the following months the Band recorded of 17 different tracks at the studio. What made it interesting is that the air conditioning could not handle that many people in one place at one time and so each session was limited to one hour.
In February 1979 Supt. Tasker lost his son in the Viscount Umniati disaster and the Band project faded away and was stopped.
Whilst we knew that the recordings had been made, no one really knew what happened to them. Thanks to Ron Wilken, the original RBC Engineer, who had them in his safe-keeping, they are now avail for your enjoyment.
Available on CD from Memories of Rhodesia or Rhodesia Was Super, they can also be listened to online at The New RBC.
We are excited to be able to bring this piece of lost history to you. The Band of the BSAP was the first military Band in Rhodesia and played throughout the country and was enjoyed by all.
Until next time
Dave Cushworth
