    I think that's standard BBC practice.

    Anyway, I did mention the BaL "duets".

      Yes - and he is doing so with increasing regularity: introducing the releases in the first half-hour and the "Disc of the Week" at the end, "interviewing" the visiting speakers (I don't remember Richard Osborne or John Lade ever doing this) as well as interrupting the BaLs with disruptive inanities. Less is definitely more with this man.

      (Frenchie - I'm sure that the Record Reviews I listened to in the '70s and '80s were longer than an hour - Building a Library itself took up 45minutes: they used to fit on a side of a C90 cassette. )

        My dad says Mr Lade was succeeded by Paul Vaughan.

          - who also was a regular "voice-over" on Horizon.

            Paul Vaughan was very good and wrote a interesting book Something in Linoleum

              I was checking the early 70s on genome. On Jan 6 1979 it was 1 hr 10 mins (introduced, not presented!) by John Lade, 9.05-1015. By 7 Jan 1989, it took up most of the morning, 9.30 - 1pm, introduced by Jeremy Siepmann, and BAL with Edward Seckerson and Rodney Milnes. Similar the following week, but with BAL & Richard Osborne. It also had a lengthy session in the middle, Call the Controller . The following week it was only 30 mins (!) long - 12.30-1.00, introduced by Richard Osborne. Going back to 1986, 11 Jan, it was 'with' Paul Vaughan, 9.05-11.15, followed by a concert (and at 12.05 it was This Sporting Life with Tom McNab )

              Make what you will of all that!

              [Add: Sat 12 September 1998 (post Proms new season):

              "9.00: CD Review
              With Andrew McGregor. Radio 3's long-running Saturday morning review programme returns with a new title and a new presenter.
              Andrew McGregor plays some of the newest CDs …"

              It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

                There was a period (can't remember quite when in the sequence) when the programme started at 7am with new releases, played as complete works, until 9am. Then they stole two hours for morning frippery and only started with the programe itself at 9.

                I remember a 'give us back our two hours' protest which, of course, got nowhere.

                  On Air started its Saturday edition in April 1998, from 6am - 9.00.

                  Before that RR started at 7am and the various bits including BaL went from 7am to midday.

                      The inhuman website does not now recognise any broadcast before 2nd January 2016. Computers are amazingly stupid.

                          Well, Andrew just confirmed that, as from next year, the programme will revert to the title RECORD REVIEW.

                          So there it is from the horses mouth.

                              Just as there are no further 'episodes' of CD Review to follow yesterday's, so also are there none of Record Review in 2015.

                                CD Review is now unlinked from the main R3 site (to be replaced, presumably, by Record Review when it starts). URL changed from 'programmes' to 'broadcasts' + date at http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006...dcasts/2015/12
