Out Of The Box (Medley) - The Wright Orchestra (1981)



Rather nice medley of classic UK & US 70's & 80's TV themes, obviously made to cash in on the 1981 craze for medleys, Stars On 45, Back To The 60's, Hooked On Classics being more successful than this, however.

The B side is a storming disco funk track, also well worth hearing, too

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

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



#REPOST#

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!

Dancing Time No. 8 - Jan Corduwener And His Ballroom-Orchestra



Thanks again to our friend Al Gates of Perth, West Australia for this fine album of ballroom dancing from the 1950s.

He has told me that he found both Jan Corduwener albums while on holiday in the beautiful city of Jakarta, Indonesia! 

He is, as I am too, very appreciative of the many kind comments on all our posts; it is these, more than anything else that keep us wanting to make the effort to record and share our collections with all of you!

So, if you enjoy this album, please comment!

Jan Corduwener And His Ballroom-Orchestra ‎– Dancing Time No. 6



Thanks again to Al Gates of Perth, West Australia for this mini gem!

A 10" album from the early 1960s, it does not specify a date, it is a pleasant listen and another nice reminder of a different era!

I hope you enjoy it and please comment, with your name, if you do!
