Hollywood Hits Vol. 1 - Ray Davies Orchestra (1984)



A happy new year to all!

We kick off the new year with a great album from the Ray Davies Orchestra thanks to our regular contributor Al Gates from Australia.

The album is a nice mix of ballroom dancing music with all the usual dances included.

It is always nice to hear a Ray Davies / Button Down Brass album, and it is particularly good to hear this one from later in his career!

The most contemporary track on this album is a Cha Cha version of the theme from Fame, recently included on Lounge Legends' collection The Best Disco In Town, I had wondered which Ray Davies album it had originated on!

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