Somewhere around the house I have a BBC produced recording of British accents. I don't know if it was ever released commercially. It was given out as a gift to their short-wave listeners. Fascinating, because of the cross-compartmented nature of the British Isles there are an amazing number of dialects, some border on languages, from a very small area.
