Malcolm Lockyer Orchestra - Themes For TV (1975)

Link collapsed due to DMCA complaint

A really tremendous album this.  Malcolm Lockyer's wonderful TV Themes album, which were all the rage at the time.  Side One is uptempo and funky and side two...er, isn't.

This is his version of Alan Tew's Hanged Man, AKA The Detectives. And Midweek.

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.

Henry Mancini - Symphonic Soul (1975)

LINK COLLAPSED DUE TO DMCA COMPLAINT

Well, apparently this is our last day of the indian summer, so what better way to say goodbye than with this album, one of the best you'll hear today, or any day for that matter.

The wonderful Butterfly.

Be quick though; I think we're on someone's hit list again.

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

Zubin Mehta - Star Wars And Close Encounters (1978)

DMCA COMPLAINT AGAIN.  LINK COLLAPSED

To celebrate my Star Wars Blu-Ray box set arriving from Amazon yesterday here's more Star Wars related tomfoolery.

Meco - Star Wars And Other Galactic Funk (1977)

DMCA COMPLAINT AGAIN.  LINK COLLAPSED

A classic album this.  I apologise in advance for not separating the tracks.  I did try, but they all run into each other and it turned into a bit of a nightmare.

Alan Tew - Tom Springfield - Latin Style (1969) and Magnificent Swingers (1970)

DMCA COMPLAINT AGAIN.  LINK COLLAPSED

I've posted these two great Alan Tew albums before but my original posts were a little scratchy.  I was lucky enough last week to find them again in almost perfect condition in my local British Heart Foundation.  So I thought they deserved a second chance.

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.

Andy Ross And His Orchestra - The Godfather (1972)

DMCA COMPLAINT AGAIN.  LINK COLLAPSED

A great little album from Andy Ross.  OK, so some of it is a little hard going, but when it's good, it's good.  The versions of The Persuaders and Jason King are spot on.

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

Ivor Raymonde Orchestra - It's Lovely Up Here (1968)

So, the DMCA complaints are back, thanks to our friend Ebay Wise.  Links deleted.

Been away for a few days so to celebrate my return here's a (shock!) vocal album from Ivor Raymonde.  Really nice arrangements of well-known standards.

So Long, Farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, Goodbye

This morning I received the following email from Mediafire:

Thanks for past help, Jodi & co... Thanks in advance for removing the five files listed below, including albums by Kookie Freeman and the Graham Dalley Dozen, and posted at http://loungetastic.blogspot.com/

Now that these files have been taken down you'll obviously have to go into your nearest record store and stock up on all the Kookie Freeman, Manuel and Graham Dalley CDs that are littering the shelves!

It's a shame that because of our friendly little Web Sheriffs like Jodi "and co", this music will never be heard by more than a handful of us lucky enough to own the records.

I think that's probably it for me now, it all seems a little pointless...

Pepe Jaramillo - Moonlight In Mexico (1967)

Due to another DMCA complaint, the links to this post have been collapsed.

The question is will I ever get tired of posting Studio 2 Stereo albums?  Nah...

More DMCA Complaints Today

Well, three more posts have been removed today due to a DMCA complaint. 

To be honest, I'm not sure this is going to be worth it anymore if they're just going to take everything down.

Blogger DMCA Takedown Notification

I received an email from Blogger yesterday regarding three posts on In-Flight:  Garry Blake, Mellow Fruitfulness and Michel Legrand.  I have now removed the links but kept the posts there.

Interestingly, by law, they cannot delete my posts - just put them into draft mode, which they did.  They also have to list the complainants, but with any personal info redacted.  This is the link they sent me, interesting stuff:

http://www.chillingeffects.org/notice.cgi

Not been a good week in blogger land, to be honest.  Before this a lot of links I had on Megaupload and Rapidshare have been deleted.  If you try and download a file and the link is dead then please contact me.  I'm not going to replace the files - it takes too much time.

Is this the beginning of the end?
