In September 1966, Delia created "music tracks" for a radio programme "Johnny's Jaunt" produced by R. Pelletier.[1]
Johnny's Jaunt is a series of "brilliant travelogues" for radio in which the renowned zoologist Johnny Morris visits various countries around the world.
As an example, "Johnny's Jaunt in Mexico" was broadcast on 28th March 1968[2] and stephen170 writes: "I am fortunate to have recorded 24 of Johnny's Jaunts on reel to reel tape. The first ones I did were in 1971."[3]
From the BBC's tape catalogue notes:
