Various - The Sound Gallery Volume 2


Various - The Sound Gallery Volume 2
Label - Scamp
Released - ???
Style - Lounge, Jazz, Funk, Easy Listening, Soundtrack, Library

(from Chaos Kitty)
Swinging music has invaded the public's consciousness - it's on the television, the wireless and being gyrated to in the most happening of discotheques. Groovy instrumental work-outs, some familiar, others down right weird, have been eagerly embraced by the all-new urban sophisticate. These musical masterpieces stem from but one source, The Sound Gallery Volume One - two albums that moved your feet, soothed your brow, and loosened your clothing - however the mood took you.

Volume Two's recordings range from the seductive - just listen to Laurie Johnson's champagne drenched "Tag", music from the Linda Thorson series of The Avengers; to the familiar -what's Valerie Singleton got to do with "The Good Word"?; to the insane - just listen to Lord Sitar (at the time rumoured to be one of the fab four) musically "enhance" the Who's "I Can See For Miles"; to the downright collectable - the first release on CD of George Martin's "Theme One" especially composed and recorded for the opening of BBC Radio One in 1967.
