This tape was like a breath of fresh air at the end of 1983, I caught it on its second outing on New Years Eve that year, bringing to an end the 5 solid year run of Don Fernando. I dont know about all the other tunes on this tape, but Eye of the Tiger hadn't even been composed when Don Fernando started, and was not long out of the charts when we first heard the version on here, so this tape couldn't have been a replacement for Don Fernando much earlier than the date it came in. We'd also finally lost Dixieland Parade after it's five and a half year run a few weeks earlier, and Sugar Loaf, which started at the same time as this tape, saw off that other long running stalwart, Belle Canon. Kung Flute was now the oldest tape, with Barry White, Bread and Sunshine In Paris having already been withdrawn out of sequence .

Big thanks Neil - always a pleasure to hear the first official Ceefax tape, House of The Rising Sun:⁠-⁠)

Wasn't Dixie Omelette the first official CEEFAX tape?

@@stuartharris2165I think it was intended originally for the test card, but spanned the changeover, and so appeared with Pages from Ceefax, like this one, most of the time from the outset. Autumn In New York also pre-dated this one by about a month, and so also ran with pages. It had a higher production number than House of the Rising Sun though, that's probably why it was shifted down the running order later on.

@@stuartharris2165Also, I did hear that Dixie Omelette could have originally been a replacement for Dixieland Parade, but with the advent of full time Ceefax pages, the Bread Tape needed replacing more urgently, as possible news pages detailing a potential disaster such as a train accident, motorway pile-up or a plane crash accompanied by "Live and Let Die" was deemed undesirable!!

I am guessing that this Ceefax showing then was listed in the Radio Times as such so then too, as by then they were doing so. It started in January 1984 when they showed it then as Pages from Ceefax rather than Closedown as they had then before that, when Test Cards F or G were shown instead at times so then too of course. Thank you!

But it and the music with it too really are so 10 out of 10 of course so then too!

I remember seeing Peter Skellern's Oasis on Pebble Mill, so must have been the very edition plugged here.

I cant believe I'm even watching this lol but I guess its nice to go back in time to when my kids were running around the house drawing on the walls or up to mischief, and it just felt safer in the 80s to what it is today correct me if I'm wrong, I even remember playing Bamboozle I'm sure that was the game you could play on Ceefax I'm so glad BBC kept telletxt as they were going to stop it but its good for people who are deaf with subtitles as my stepdaughter is

Bamboozle was on Teletext UK, which replaced Oracle on ITV and C4 from 1993.
