The Sound Gallery - 24 Musical Masterpieces (1995)

This fantastic compilation caused a bit of a buzz for a while in 1995 as it brought attention to the fantastic world of library, lounge and easy listening music that we all love so much.  The tracks are culled mainly from the archives of KPM and EMI's Studio 2 series.

Wonderful stuff.  Volume two coming soon.

John Cameron's Half Forgotten Daydreams

An album that have been hanging around unposted for quite a while.  Some nice interpretations on here, including Mike Leander's great version of The Silencers.

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.

Various Artists - Something Festive (1970)

A repost from last year, the original link being long dead and buried.

Various Artists - Latin Delights - Verve

Apologies for the recent lack of posts.  Anyway, here's a little cracker to end November with.  Unfortunately, a cracker with a few crackles, but I thought those were a small price to pay for such a quality compilation.

Here's a little taster, courtesy of Kai Winding.

Middle Of The Road - Phase 4 Stereo (1973)

I can't remember the last time I posted a Phase 4 album, so here's a nice compilation from '73.  There really are some oustanding tracks on this; Les Reed's Good Morning Starshine, Stanley's Black's These Boots Are Made For Walking and Everybody's Talkin' by Claude Denjean.

The World Of Easy Listening - Volume Six (1973)

Here's the final volume, featuring some fine tracks including this version of With A Little Help From My Friends from Jose Pirata.

Well, it's the last one I've got anyway, there may have been more volumes. Anyone out there know?

And so we move on to Volume Five.  Love is Blue

The World Of Easy Listening - Volume Four (1973)

And onto Volume Four.  Listen to this lovely version of Music To Watch Girls By.

The World Of Easy Listening - Volume Three (1973)

And onto Volume Three.

The World Of Easy Listening - Volume Two (1973)

And here's Volume Two, with a little taster.

Stereo 99 (1968)

I guess this is what they thought we'd be listening to at the end of the 20th century.  Some of us were!

Sounds Superb (MFP, 1972)

A great MFP compilation featuring Kaempfert, Legrand, Goodwin and Chaquito.  I wonder if this is where the Sounds Superb label originated?

As suggested I'll now also try and offer an alternative to Rapidshare, so here's the same file at Megaupload.

The Phase 4 World Of Colours (1976)

Another fine Phase 4 compilation.

Alternate Megaupload link.

The Phase 4 World Of Latin Fire (1972)

Just a little something to warm us up a bit.

Two lovely Marble Arch double albums contains some great stuff from Tony Hatch, Cyril Stapleton and John Schroeder.

Snatched from the jaws of queasy listening by the magnificent Birds 'N' Brass.

I love these German compilations.

Nice Studio 2 compilation this one.  Tracks from Enoch Light, Tony Mottola, etc
