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.

Sounds Orchestral - Meets Henry Mancini (1967)

One of the best editions to the Sound Orchestra catalogue. 

Panther Cocktail

BBC Sporting Themes (1979)

This is another one of my favourite albums and it's posted to celebrate In-Flight Entertainment being one year old today.  Thanks for all the advice and encouragement from over the last year.

As for this album, yes, it probably is one of the worst covers you'll ever see, but it hides one of the finest collection of tracks on plastic.  Lots of your KPM boys on here:  Johnny Pearson, Keith Mansfield and Brian Bennett.

My personal favourite is the theme to Superstars, Heavy Action by Johnny Pearson.  If you're of a certain age like me then you'll remember Kevin Keegan falling off his bike like it was yesterday.  Fantastic!

Sounds Orchestral - Wigwam (1971)

Includes the wonderful Shackled.

Sounds Orchestral - At The Movies (1969)

Sounds Orchestral - At The Movies (1969)

Sounds Orchestral - Cast Your Fate To The Wind (1964)

John Schroeder plus Johnny Pearson equals magic.  Their debut album from 1964.

Johnny Pearson & His Orchestra - Theme From The Rat Catchers (1966)

I thought I'd start posting a few of my favourite singles too.  This is a classic from Johnny Pearson.  The theme from a short-lived TV series called The Rat Catchers.
