Very nice ceefax of old with music too thank you too.

I was 9 years old starting a new week at primary school When my life wasn't unbearable

For the first clip, on 7/9/84, Ellipse is caught from the tail end of Slow Rock Cafe, plays through the entirety of Fedora, and into the start of Mariposa. For the second clip, on 7/15/84, Ellipse is played again, with this clip starting near the end of Fedora, and continuing on past Mariposa, and going through the next 9 songs, onto the closing track, Saga. The clip ends with silence - though I presume a tape change must have been in order, given that they had about half an hour on BBC One before the final program of "Encounters with Islam". As to what tape got a partial playing... I don't know!

I agree. 1996 was the last great year. The filthy rotten stench life started in the summer of the year 2002!

I remember this CRAP being on in the mornings.

Dose anybody know what this music is called at 0:15 I like this kind of music😎

So unrest in Israel, nurses going on strike....ahh not much changes in 35 years does it?

Brings back memories of sitting with my nanny in the early morning late 1980s / early 1990s watching Ceefax for the cheery music

Quite a fair of this sounds a bit like Frank Chacksfield Orchestra.

Wow I just loved this tape. Magnificent stuff.

Can't have been long after the dropped level 2 from Pages from Ceefax- though the Air quality page is still level 2 for some reason. I remember that from the time, I think it stayed that way for quite a while.

11:59 Programmes for Monday: This was broadcast during the 1993 Summer Holidays; July/August. I remember Hammerman and Pugwall.

crazy how much 1960s influenced 'muzak' they were broadcasting in 1995 here wow great flashback, thanks for sharing!

What announcer is that?

I love this tape, the first track is my fave with its slight 'Japanese Citypop / 80s anime' feel 💖

1996...the last great year in the UK. All downhill from then on...to the absolute sewage the country is now. Ceefax and music...happy times.

The song 16:42 is always warped. That's my favourite. How comes the song is so distorted on your other uploads???

30:50 - no news anywhere on the internet of this killing. Makes you wonder how many news stories there are, on old Ceefax pages, that the internet has no record of.

Just remember so fondly, circa early 1996, watching ceefax waiting for power rangers to come on. One time, the sun was coming up, the sky going from navy to a pleasant pink colour like the "finances" picture on here with the high-rise in the foreground. I had my power ranger plush (which my Gran had bought from the toy section of the long-defunct Lewis's store in Liverpool), and said to it "you're going to be on TV in a minute" :D

These old ceefax pages bring back memories....I was 15 years old at this time.

I don't like Track 5, Off Limits, as some of the chords are unpleasant and the ending is horrible (augmented penultimate chord which I find sinister). The other tracks are fine.

What is the tune at 3:01 called? I have a very good musical memory!

Never realised Strachan was subject of a tug of war between United and Cologne. This is a goldmine.

0:12 it's ceefax time

Thank you of course for the Ceefax here-very nice it is too as well!

What is the tune at 13.01 called?

49:22

How did this happen? Where the F did it come from??

31:11 uh oh

The link track between "Bottom's Up" and "Simple Piano" is called "Alpha Beam" by Dave Cornfield's Music Machine from a Mozart Edition LP. MESLP114 or the German LP LA10016 on the Airlift Label.

There seems to be a connection between this tape and Jewel In The Night and Colours.
