What Delia calls [[Angela's Ballet]] and the BBC calls [[Gravel]] appear to be the same piece of music:
* both are mentioned in connection with EEGs
* Delia's notes "R.W - 26.7.63"[3] list Gravel as one of her immediate tasks and both were performed/broadcast in 1964.<ref name=JP>James Percival writes in an email to mailing list delia@topica.com that [[Gravel]] "was apparently played at the 1964 Congress for Experimental Music in Berlin", and there is a tape [[TRW#6193|TRW 6193]] labelled ''The Death of a Jelly Baby (for Germany)'', also dated 1964.</ref>

The [[Radiophonic Database]] says that [[Death of the Jelly Baby]] was broadcast<ref name=TRW4090/> but [[Gravel]] never was.<ref name=TRW6064>The [[Tape Library List]]'s entry for [[TRW#6064|TRW 6064]]: "Gravel".</ref>
