This Is Roberto Delgado [1970]

Very nice 10 track sampler of Roberto Delgado's 60s work, featuring the latin sounds of Spanish Eyes, El Paloma, Rhumba Tamba, Taboo, and 6 other great tracks.

[From the sleeve notes]

''The heat of the tropical sun, the excitement of the carnival, all the fire of Latin America, this is the music of Roberto Delgado. Audiences in the sophisticated continental nightclubs have thrilled to the music of Roberto Delgado, many record buyers in this country have for long known the excitement of his records in fabulous stereo, now, to bring his music to a wider audience we bring you a selection of some of the best of Roberto Delgado so that you too may thrill to the magic of far-away nights in exotic places. Come, hear, be conquered by the scintillating sound of Roberto Delgado.''

Organ Sounds In Super Stereo - Alan Hawkshaw Plays The Philicorda [1972]

A nice & easy treat from the greatest British session organist. Very rare and hard to find, this LP is a mixture of standards and 60s & 70s pop classics played by the Hawk along with his session legend friends Brian Bennett, Jim Lawless, Chris Spedding, Tony Carr and Danny Richmond. Mariella is a Hawkshaw original and is a definite highlight, as are the versions of Spinning Wheel and My Cherie Amour. There are also some great liner notes from the Hawk himself! I hope you enjoy it! Hawk from Mediafire

Party Dances with Sydney Thompson [1968]

This one, along with the All-Time Party hits LP by Joe Loss were the ones I used to listen to most at my grandmother's house when I was a small child. I did have a copy of this, but it was in such poor condition I could not offer you a listen of it. A typical party LP of its time, it sounds great, is still enjoyable to listen to, and I hope you enjoy it! Party [Mediafire]

Komm Lass Uns Tanzen "Let's Have A Party" - Lenard Best Und Sein Orchester [1976]

Here is a very nice Easy LP with a very typical German sound of the mid 70s. Featuring a mix of 70s pop songs and traditional-sounding German tunes, it is recommended if you enjoy listening to James Last, Roberto Delgado, and Klaus Wunderlich.

I found it very enjoyable and I hope you do too!

Top T.V. Themes - The Pandora Orchestra [1972]

This is a great collection of early 70s UK TV themes, and unusually, are the original versions!

From the classic sitcoms Please Sir, On The Buses, Doctor At Large, and The Fenn Street Gang, and the classic dramas Upstairs Downstairs, New Scotland Yard, The Onedin Line, and Catweazle, with a storming track from The Big Match called Cheekybird!

I hope you enjoy it!

Girl Talk - Button Down Brass / Ray Davies

I do not normally post CD compilations, but after the comments on my recent Button Down Brass library LP post, I thought it would be good to post this very nice collection of the Pye years of Ray Davies.

All the great Button Down originals are here, such as Heavy Water, Mach 1, Hadrian's Wall, Martinique, and Truckin', with some nice covers, too.

It was previously posted on Lounge Legends, but the link has expired, so for Mindy, who left a very kind comment, here it is!

It has had to be hosted at Mediafire, as my access to Megaupload appears to have been curtailed at the moment.
