Screen Action / Crime Busters - The Power Pack Orchestra [1986]

Here, especially for darnall42, is a fantastic collection of 35 great 80s TV and film [but mostly TV] themes played by the Power Pack ''Orchestra'', mostly synth and drum machine again, but it must be said that it is very of its time.

There are 25 tracks on the original CD ''Screen Action'', but I also have an LP called ''Crime Busters'', which also contains some of the tracks from ''Screen Action'', so I have added the tracks that were not featured on that to this download.

Highlights aplenty, but I can't quite believe the way they did the ''Hart To Hart'' theme!

I hope you enjoy it and please leave a comment!

I ripped this CD some time ago, and cannot find it at the moment to scan the covers from it, so I'm afraid this will have to do for now!

I'll be back soon with more classic Easy from the 60s and 70s!

Essential Easy Listening - Various Artists [1991]

This is a magnificent collection of classic Easy tracks by some of the finest Easy acts.

I understand it was originally released in the 70s as a double LP, but some weeks ago I found a CD issue from 1991 in the local Red Cross shop.

I'm sure you will love it!

Essential

The Nearness Of You - Charles Barlow & His Orchestra [1978]

After listening to this great album of ballroom dance music, I would swear that it was by Joe Loss, as the arrangements are so similar!

My highlight is Chihuahua, a nice Bob Barratt instrumental I remember first hearing on Harry Stoneham's High Power Hammond on Studio 2 from 1970.

It's nice to hear in full now on this LP!

It's a good listen, and if you have enjoyed my posts of Joe Loss, Cyril Stapleton, and Ray McVay, you'll enjoy this one, too!

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]
