Thank You For The Music (Radio 2 Top Tunes Vol. 5) - Norrie Paramor & The Midland Radio Orchestra (1979)

 

A fine collection of late '70s pop songs arranged for BBC Radio 2 play and made available on this album, the very last one by the great Norrie Paramor (there is a tribute on the rear sleeve).

Featuring excellent versions of classics such as I Will Survive, Just The Way You Are, Music Box Dancer, Cavatina, Copacabana and more.

I hope you enjoy it and please comment if you do!

Big TV Themes - Geoff Love & His Orchestra (1984)

An 80s compilation of some of the best UK and US TV themes of the 70s and 80s, featuring some tracks taken from his previous theme and instrumental albums with at least five tracks specially recorded for this album.

The new tracks being themes from Dynasty, Reilly Ace Of Spies, Hill Street Blues, The Winds Of War, and The Thorn Birds, they blend nicely with the previously recorded tracks, some, such as Chi Mai, Dallas, Eye Level, Coronation Street and Brideshead Revisited appearing on a Geoff Love themes album for the first time.

A must for any lover of TV theme music, and orchestral music of the 70s and 80s in general, I think it contains the last new recordings from Geoff Love (if anybody knows otherwise please let me know).

I hope you enjoy it and please comment if you do!
