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.

Dig the cool sound of The Dave Pell Singers' swinging "Oh Calcutta." Groove to the funky sounds of Mandingo's "The Headhunter" and "Black Rite." Refresh yourself with "Shout About Pepsi" by Denny Wright and The Hustlers.
