I'm still in awe of the background knowledge Lord Thames has and is prepared to share with us. Thank you sir. Or is it Your Lordship?!! :)

If only those at KPM, De Wolfe etc could have predicted the following there would be in the 21st century for library music they probably would have kept better records. I've found Oliver Lomax's book The Mood Modern to be quite helpful as it includes names of a number of musicians (though not all) who were regularly employed at various recording sessions.

I know when James Clarke's Wild Elephants was released commercially, he had to refer to his 1973 BBC diary to get the names of the musicians who played on it for exactly that reason!

Syd Dale used him on a Nina and Frederik session under his real name of John Baldwin, it's not impossible he may have played on some of Syd's UK library or background music sessions.

We know Jimmy Page played on at least one session for de Wolfe as one of the tracks is named after him, and Big Jim Sullivan who also appears:



Interesting track.  I'm hearing hints of "Norwegian Wood" in the chorus guitar melodies.

At some point in the process there would have been log books noting who played what on library albums, so the musicians involved could be paid.  But I'm guessing most of those logs are long gone, and they wouldn't always be a a clear guide even if they were still around.
