G.B.M.L. 0036 - Stardust - The David Rose Orchestra (UNCONFIRMED)

I can confirm this one is correct - I could probably confirm a few more with a search on my shelves!

The involvement of Aidan Day appears to show a connection to Capital Radio (though certainly not the current incarnation of that station!) - I've seen a home video taken in their offices in the early 90s where a few GBML LPs are visible in one sequence.
