I don’t know if you manage to find [Stuart Grundy BBC radio 1975 Simon and Garfunkel].but when I came across your post it reminded me that I recorded the six hourly shows back in 1975 onto cassettes .They were recorded in mono on my Fm radio/cassette from Dixons of the time, As a fan of Simon & Garfunkel I know I still have them, I have found them and managed to transfer them to mp3 mono recording at 320bits and still a decent recordings for 48 years ago. If you are still seeking the programs let me know

Thanks

Hi Dpr
soon I get your email , I’ll arrange with you and send the files to you properly on a DVD rom
that’s if you still have a dvd drive they are slowly a thing of the past, but I still use them for a hard backup (There Be no cost to you ) it will be my good deed.

This thread is one of the reasons I love obscure forums on the internet. Two total strangers helping each other to hear lost audio purely due to the love of that audio and not profit.
Oh - and a little tip. WeTransfer.com means you can upload those MP3s and send it zero cost…

@IvanDobsky Thanks for the wetransfer suggestion
@denzel2 Thanks for your offer of a dvd disc, I do have several drives, but I much prefer the online transfer… If you login to musicbrainz, you have a message from me…
You’re helping me find information on the recording locations of several S&G tracks… looking forward to getting to the bottom of this particular rabbit hole!

I like WeTransfer as it is so simple to use, and you can select a LINK option that means you don’t even have to reveal email addresses.
I have absolutely not exchanged rare an unusual stuff with other MB users this way…

I have also used it - to get other non 1975, shorter versions of the Stuart Grundy show. None of which included the elusive Roy Hallee interview… 
Another advantage: Transferred files will be deleted online (@ WeTransfer) automatically after 7 days in the free version.

Hey dpr. Big time S&G fan here. I can’t find this broadcast anywhere online; I would love to have a listen to it. Born many, many years after 1975, I never even had the chance to listen to it, lol! I would be most grateful if you could send the files to my email address: -
Best regards,
PJ

Hi there all. thanking you all for your thanks
just wish I could have recorded them in stereo. the option was there as I recall
I was 21 at the time and just got married, even £25 for a Mono FM radio tape recorder
from Dixon’s seemed a lot the time. but at least I kept hold of the recordings hope you enjoy. once again thanks
