Antonio Pedro Hatch - The Cool Latin Sound (1968)

What better way to get set for a snowy weekend than with this cool album from Antonio Pedro, AKA Tony Hatch.

One of my favourite albums.  Here's Birds.

Sounds Orchestral - Words (1968)

This site is just like a bus.  Nothing for ages and  then two come along at once.  This one should make the audiophiles a little happier, not so much crackle and pop.

Includes the best version of Soul Coaxing too, I reckon and a great version of Donovan's Jennifer Juniper.

Mike Leander Orchestra - Together (1969)

Firstly, a belated happy New Year to you all.  Secondly, apologies for the lack of posts since before Christmas.  Sometimes life just gets in the way.  Anyway, I'm back on track now with these nice LP from Mike Leander, best known for writing and producing a lot of Gary Glitter's hits in the 70s.

Unfortunately, this album is a little scratchy, particularly after our cat jumped on the turntable while I was recording it!  Still, hopefully that won't spoil your enjoyment too much.

The Letter

Enoch Light - Presents Patterns In Sound, Volume 9 (1969)

I recorded this way back in February and for some reason it's been gathering virtual dust on my hard drive.  Hopefully, it's OK and was just forgotten about.  Which reminds me, I will try and fix the Pete Winslow album soon.

Aquarius

Ron Goodwin - Christmas Wonderland (1967)

Season's greetings to you all.

Laurie Johnson Orchestra - The New Big Sound Of (1963)

Another elsewhere post to keep things ticking over.

Franck Pourcel and Pepe Jaramillo - Studio 2 Stereo

In-Flight Entertainment started two years ago today and to celebrate I'm posting a couple of S2S belters from Franck Pourcel and Pepe Jaramillo.

I must apologise for the lack of posts during November but I've been pretty busy at work and home and so haven't had the chance to rip any of the big pile of albums waiting to be posted.

To make up for it I'll be reposting some albums you may have missed over the last two years so please drop me an email - or leave a comments - if you have any requests and I'll see what I can do.

Thanks to all of you who've given encouragement and suggestions since November 2009.

Charlie Byrd with Orchestra and Chorus - Hollywood Byrd (1967)

A brilliant choice to kick the weekend off even if I say so myself.  Some really nice tracks on here, with evergreen Georgy Girl being a personal favourite.

Bob Crewe Generation - Music To Watch Birds By (1968)

I think this is such a good album that I'm posting it on here as well as S2S.

Winter Warm

Esquivel - More Of Other Worlds, Other Sounds (1962)

LINK COLLAPSED DUE TO DMCA COMPLAINT 

An album rightly regarded as a classic.  Maybe not quite as good as the first LP in the series but great stuff all the same.


Happy Sunday.

Robert Byrne - Sound In The Eighth Dimention (1968)

More Command Stereo to kick off the weekend.

Charles Magnante - Fiesta! (1964)

I posted this album a while ago, but I'd messed up and posted Carnival instead.  Well, finally here is the correct album and sleeve.

Especially for those of us in the UK who are enjoying this Indian summer.  Should hit 26 today and 29 tomorrow.  Phew, what a scorcher!

Music Of Mystery Mayhem And Murder (1965)

Unforunately, not quite as exciting as the cover would suggest, but a good mid-sixties spy related album for all that.

Stan Butcher - His Birds And Brass (1966)

DMCA COMPLAINT AGAIN.  LINK COLLAPSED

Four years before Barbara Moore sung on the wonderful Birds 'N Brass album with Keith Roberts she worked on a similar project with Stan Butcher.  No, not as funky as Sort Of Soul, but it does have it moments with Clunky being a good example.

Lenny Dee - In Hollywood! (1962)

DMCA COMPLAINT AGAIN.  LINK COLLAPSED

Been meaning to post this since the summer but forgotten all about it.  A nice album from Lenny.

Around The World

Roland Shaw - The Look Of Love (1968)

DMCA COMPLAINT AGAIN.  LINK COLLAPSED

The man who claims not to like vocal albums has posted nothing but over the last few days.  Here's one more from the sensational Roland Shaw.

Trippin'

Leroy Holmes - For A Few Dollars More (1968)

DMCA COMPLAINT AGAIN.  LINK COLLAPSED

The posts are coming thick and fast at the moment as I want to clear some of the stuff I've encoded this summer but not got round to posting yet.  Great album from Leroy Holmes, here's the title track.

Voices In Latin (1968)

DMCA COMPLAINT AGAIN.  LINK COLLAPSED

As you know I don't really like vocal albums, but when the vocals are by Barbara Moore, then well, there are exceptions to the rule!


Hideaway

Frankie Carle - The Latin Style Of (1966)

These are the kind of records you rarely ever see over here in England so I was surprised to find this (and a Harry Horlick LP) a few months ago at a record fair for 50p each.  I'm sure the streets of every American city are paved with albums like this, but not over here unfortunately. 

A sneak preview here.

Cyril Stapleton - The Panoramic Sound Of Lennon and McCartney (1969)

OK, I'm ready to start posting some of my £1 a time booty from my recent holiday.  This was an album I'd been after for a while and it's a corker!  I know it's been posted by other folk around these parts, so I hope they don't mind me proudly posting my own copy.
