Library Music Themes

The Original Library Music Themes (LMT) first opened to the public on 21 November, 2012. This visionary project was started by Retronic, who successfully ran it alone for some years before inviting a couple of others to help with admin and maintenance. Despite many ups and downs, LMT has been alive and active ever since. This is the Official Version 7, owned and operated by Retronic and the original LMT crew. Accept no substitutes!
Welcome aboard and enjoy!

So glad to be here. I didn't know the date it started but it came on the back of ending the retro-teque blog which started in March 2010. Those old rips are archaic now, in compressed 128kbps- we've come a long way and quality not quantity has become more appealing.
I'm looking forward to re-capturing some of the old spirit of 2012; but you can't go back and things have changed. Back then, almost every post was a big deal because stuff was so rare. Newer followers of the genre probably can't imagine this. When I posted 'DWSLP 3392 - Mean and Dirty' people messaged me asking me to take it down and keep it rare. People had a hunger to hear more. They may have heard one track that had been sampled by someone and were dying to hear more of that LP. The way we listen has changed as technology has advanced. It's easy now to download an entire back catalogue of many labels. That was something I dreamt of in the early to mid 90's when you were lucky to own a few LPs.
Let's keep enjoying, talking about and sharing our passion for the music. It's easy to grab everything and never even listen to most of it- over exposure can make us take it for granted. I'm looking forward to more library chat in the years to come.
-
I'm proud to be a part of this community, and so glad we can go on and share our knowledge and passion in this new warm home.
A big welcome to everyone who'll join us.
-
Happy to be back!
-
Hurrah!
-
What a great surprise!
-
Nice to be here! Thank you for setting it up. Vive le V.7!
-
Glad this was created. Good to see everyone again.

Thanks for giving me "safe-conduct" to the site again...will definitely feel more confortable with all of you around here...
-
Ellemtee 7 I believe in you !
Peace

I"m so glad we're all back where we belong. Believe it or not, I've missed you all.
I came back within hours of the Christmas Coup and immediately messaged Mr because 'suddenly' I was unable to raise any familiar faces at the previous spot. The news I received from Mr about our board was very shocking.
What a way to 'come home,' to find it wrecked and ransacked and none of your old keys will work in opening the door. That was my state of mind at the time - severe shock.
But we're all back, thanks to the technology to stay in touch.
I want to personally thank both Retronic and Mr for staying in touch with me and eventually sending me the "all clear" signal to return.
Anyways, thanks for letting me vent here. I really have missed the old folks and our wonderful board.
And I've also brought along some goodies which I'll be posting up very soon.
-
I'm really really happy MD to see you back.
p.s. no squirrel??
-
it's fantastic can see you again!
-

I'm really really happy MD to see you back.

I haven't found the way to post up an avatar, yet.
It's been so long that I'll have to find Mr Squirrel again. Or download another.
-
Ha! There he is..
-
Great to see everyone here! :)
-
Hi all and nice to see the familiar faces once again, ding ding round 7.
-
Howdo everybody, like the new logo!
-
This is very pleasing - lots of familiar names again.
Looking at the other place was like being in an episode of The Twilight Zone... looked the same on the surface but something. Wasn’t. Quite. Right. :o
-
Hello and thank you for approval to join the board. Congratulations with the new home and actually the real one.

Thanks for the Welcome Mat RT
-
Well, hello again!
-
Thank goodness. Sanity will prevail at last!
Great to be here, thanks once again for setting up numero 7 - Fingers crossed it will be static for some while!
-
Hello!
I'm a little bit confused. Are there actually two different versions of LMT online? I see some members posting on both sides.
Anyway, good to see that there is still such a great community collecting library music.
Greetings,
Caligula

It's a long story but here's a taste of what happened:

That's sad and the whole story sounds really creepy. I just wondered why "mr" invites me to a new forum, but is still active as "mister" at the old board. But now, a closer look at "mister's" profile pic there, debunked the account as fake. I hope you don't have too much trouble with this kind of bs and thanks again for your continuous work over all this years.
For the love of music,
Caligula
-
Hello Caligula, nice to see you again!
About the lost LMTv6, the whole group that has been banned, still have their account there.
I would like to delete my account, and others probably too, but it's not possible cause the site is not reachable anymore for us.
-
yeah i got locked out too. sent a message trying to get back in (cause PL is still there), but all i got was a message asking me to explain a comment i made on Retronic's blog. clearly i'm not wanted there, haha.
-
nice to see you guys back on the scene...
nice to be in here again! ;D
-
And nice to see you back home milliondollars.

Hello again Mr! It's dreamfortress, the one who made the Library Music Disc 2 list. I don't know how much I'll end up posting here but I thought I'd let you know I'm here. Will probably put up a thread of some sort for my own library playlists in the DIY Compilations board.
And of course, hello to everyone else. I'm a big library fan, particularly of the 80s period; became obsessed thanks to the Sonne Immage youtube channel along with some Discogs searching, etc.
-

Hey, Zach, I'm gladdaseeya once again! Are you unable to get in touch w PL since being locked out of LMT 6?
Speaking of which, even after stealing LMT 6 and changing the locks, that Mouthbreathing Moderator still feels the need to snoop around Retronic's site, jiggling all the doorknobs, searching for something else to steal. After all the harm it's caused, it's still feeling the paranoia and need to spy on the true Citizens of LMT "just in case."
Years after the fact, Mouthbreather will most likely still be checking the rear view mirror, always with a feeling of worried dread. I guess when a person makes a lifestyle out of ripping people off, constantly looking over one's shoulder becomes a necessary survival skill.
That's no way to live.
That's one thing I've always enjoyed about LMT: the feeling of being in a safe community. Somehow, I get the feeling if this were a real village someplace, nobody would feel the need to lock their doors. How can that be a bad thing?
-
Welcome, Dreamfortress! Glad to see you made it.
For those not aware, the "Disc 2" list he's talking about is a very nice 'best of' list for synth-y 80's library music he did over at RYM. Check it out (https://rateyourmusic.com/list/dreamfortress/rym-ultimate-box-set-library-music-disc-2-the-80s_electronics/)!

I agree, Muff. We've got a great community here, always have... and folks like you are a major part of it :)
-

hey muff diver, great to see you too, always love reading your posts. yeah i've been in contact with PL, but unfortunately it doesn't look like he'll be over here anytime soon. :-\
-
Found myself locked out also after a few of my PM's went missing strangely. I had the feeling I was being spied on.
I hope PL joins us at some point :-\
-
Glad to see the old gang is back together again!
-
Good to see you again HPD. I like your avatar.

Hi everyone,
Thanks to Mr for inviting me again.
I don't want to talk much about the "other" board, but they obviously have a great issue.
Perhaps it's a joke, but it has been hacked by "Morocco Cyber Army", who wants a ransom!?
Happy to be here
-
haha, wow he actually put up a fake hacked alert. crazy.
-
Speachless.. this guy simply knows no limits.
-
Welcome back Jorge, and everyone else!
The community is coming back together :)
-
Oh yeah, exactly.
I welcomed you on Safred topic Jorge.
But I do it form here too.
As Stack says, we're back again together.
Welcome back!
-
I am very happy that the website and friends are back. 8]
Hello again to all friends. Many know me from Soulseek as kadehim aka so on other platforms apiko.
-
Ah great! Nice to see this project didn't die. Thanks to Mr for letting me know about it. Better late than never :D
BTW, do the old rules apply here? Most of what I have to share is studio released stuff and CD material.
-
Hi there! I'm a newbie here. Many thanks to Big Archive for pointing me to this site. ;D
-
Welcome (back), new and old!
Nice to see you here, kadehim :)
-
Welcome back Blackwatch.
And a special welcome to Apiko and vchw.
-
Warm welcome everyone :-)
-
Got suspicious when I saw the "hacker" message. Did some Googling, learned what was going on, wound up here. I don't know what it is, but somehow I realize now that the other place didn't feel real...
Anyway, glad to be back here. Hopefully for keeps this time (this board has some rough times, doesn't it?).
-
Welcome tymime. Yeah, for keeps..
-
Yo yo. Glad to see so many familiar faces again.

Good catch! I didn't notice that. :)

Everytime I "see" long-time members from the earlier LMT Boards, I feel a bit nostalgic. It's so good to see so many people again that I'd lost track of. I'm glad we're all back together again!

Welcome back TLZ.

Thanks for making this happen!
I discovered this only recently after a fellow Soulseek friend PM'd me about it. This was a few months ago, so it was the previous forum (the one with the drama, apparently).
It was excited to join, but then it got "hacked" and I was really bummed (and puzzled).
After reading about the past problems, I glad this new forum exists. Thanks again, and I'm glad to be here! 8] :)
-
You're very welcome Mickey.

Hello again guys!
Thankful and proud to see that you keep pushing for this, despite recent setbacks.
Glad to be a part of this, thank you!

Guess who's back? KB's back!
I still appreciate help from all you for identifying various stock music tracks for my KaBlam! Music Identification Blogs. UPDATE 9/13/22: Blogs listed below have since been deleted due to lack of interest.

Also, one blogger user commented on my third blog asking if any of you have this album (except I just noticed that comment was deleted by the user himself):
https://www.discogs.com/The-Grosvenor-Studio-Orchestra-Happy-Cobbler/release/7807856
If so, a rip would be appreciated! Thanks!
PS (regarding Mr)- Has Selected Sound #5196 worked for you yet via the zip folder? Otherwise, I would be happy to send you the actual CD-ROM myself.

Being introduced to this forum by Mr himself, what can I say other than I found a treasure on-line! So, let me introduce myself...
My name is JimAth, but you can just call me Takis. I'm 21 years old, an Athens resident, and avid fan of library music!
When I was like 11, exactly 10 years ago, I began listening to soundtracks (I grew up with classical and the greek folk traditional music), and whenever I was watching Spongebob I really wanted to have the background music. So, I downloaded a torrent with the "Production Music" (still then, I couldn't exactly understand what was it all about) and submerged into the obscure world of the libraries. Everyday back then, I was googlin' and googlin' for albums (we had the dreaded Rapidshare back then -remember?), downloading and filling up my hard drive. 10 years ago, Facebook was still in its infancy, and blogs and forums were the place-to-be if you were on the search for obscure genres of music. Indeed, the blog community back then was very active and with exceptional quality (remember the Crime Lounge, a guy who used to upload albums but I just can't remember his name). Endless hours on the search...
Through library music, when I was around 15, I discovered jazz (even though I wouldn't fully appreciate it back then, as I do now), other genres and learned to distinguish between composers, eras and styles. When I entered University and had some money from student jobs, I started building my CD and Vinyl collection. I have around 4-5 CDs of Production music as of now (I mostly bought soundtracks and classical at first), but in the future I will enrich it with more findings.
Well, that's my -musical- life story! I hope we can have a very nice time here!
Greetings,
Takis
-
Hello Takis, nice to read your story.
Welcome aboard.
-
Welcome, JimAth!
-
As an avid follower of library music for nearly 40 years, this continuing forum is unquestionably one of life's happy pleasures. A sincere THANK YOU! to those who are responsible for it and to those who so generously give of their time and resources. Back in the pre-Web era, one could have never dreamed it possible such a community of kindred spirits would ever exist.
-
Great to see you. ;-)
-
Cheers, Timmer. And welcome!
-
Welcome Timmer.

Hi all You guys and thanks to Greta for letting me know this beautiful place; it's not a long time I'm into library music but I think I have a reasonable collection, You can find me with the same nick on soulseek, hope I can help...
Have a Good Weekend, Cheers
Ps: sorry for my late "hi" but I haven't had a lot of free time lately

Welcome, squain.

Welcome! Nice avatar ;)

Somehow missed the welcome thread until now.
Hi Everyone, I Fell in love with library music after hearing Mike Ratledge's - Push Button on the tv show button moon back in the 80s.
It took quite a few years of digging and research to find out what music that was, then it was like discovering a whole new world. Library music of the 70's and 80's is pretty much all I ever listen to now.
This forum is just amazing, so pleased I discovered it.
Cheers!

One good thing about having to rejoin after the glitch - I've noticed the selection of preloaded music/celebrity avatars offered by this messageboard, it's incredible - straight out of 2001!

Welcome back ;)
Hahaha! You know, I found that folder, but couldn't for the life of me figure out what its purpose was.

Long time lurker, took the plunge and registered. Love this forum. Hi to all.

I'm a bit late here, but welcome Cratedigga and MrMonarch.

congratulations for this wonderful blog
I'm a bit confused because I can not understand the difference between the term "not library " and "library music" For example, I just downloaded and listened to the album shared by Greta in the Libray Music sector - CML 126 - Don Powell, Adolfo Waitzman , Franco Campanino - Theme With Variations - Sentimental Modern (1977): it contains some excerpts from soundtracks from the movies black emanuelle n2 / the climber la ragazza dalla pelle di corallo that according to my opinion should be included in the sector " not library "
Please explain the difference to me
-
Many library records were used in films but as opposed to producers paying a composer to write music especially for the film. Lots of tracks are well known (ie, The Gonk used in Dawn of the Dead) but it is a library track first and foremost.

That's a big topic, puppy azzy. A basic explanation can be found here => https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Production_music
-
Many library records were used in films but as opposed to producers paying a composer to write music especially for the film.
In Italy, the opposite is often the case too, like with this CAM LP; already composed scores intended for specific films or TV series saw reuse as library cues. This is pretty much never mentioned on the releases themselves, however.
What 'makes' this "library music" in this case is the fact that it was released as part of a series of library releases, see the sleeve for instance:
(https://i.imgur.com/cOYznMA.png)
Also, most of these cues were never released anywhere else.

Your profile is ok and doesn't need to be reviewed.
To use the search function it is necessary for everyone to be logged in. Just this.

Greetings my friends. My name is Gabe and similar to a few other "welcomes" that I've read here, I too have also recently discovered this amazing world of library music. I do thank you for allowing me to join, and yet while I'm still quite new to this area of music, I'm also very eager to learn about it. I can tell you my only experience thus far comes from a YouTube channel referencing a few themes from the Tim & Eric show. This may or may not have been a good thing. :)
Many thanks to you all, Gabe.
-
Welcome onboard Gabe.
-
Hello all. I just joined. I've got quite a broad taste in music and I'm particularly into Library at the moment, which I guess has a broad range of styles itself. I came across this board by accident and thought I would have a look round. Thanks for letting me in :)
-
Welcome aboard!

Cheers!

I'm interested in how newer members are getting into library music- share your tales.... :-)

I'm interested in how newer members are getting into library music- share your tales.... :-)
It probably started around 10 years ago for me. I think I heard Justin Spear and Stuart Maconie playing and discussing it a few times on 6 music. I bought some compilation and reissue CDs, I went to see KPM All Stars perform live twice (I recorded one show - I should have it somewhere), I bought the Fuel book.
But then, for some unknown reason, my interest petered out.
Cut to last year when I found myself with time on my hands to listen to some music while I was working in the office. I listened to some old British Psych broadcasts on mixcloud and, when I ran out of them, I remembered someone had told me many years before about the OST Show on Resonance FM, so I started listening and was hooked again. Went through the three year archive three times. By this time I had relocated to Singapore and, for a tiny country, it has more than it's fair share of record shops but, when asking about library music, I was met with a blank look. Until I found a guy selling records in a disused factory unit. It turned out a large part of his stock came from broadcasting companies. Bingo! Several shelves packed with library records. The majority are De Wolfe but there are some other labels.
So, my library collection has started. Having said that, I'm not planning to collect as such, just buy the music I like and, if I buy anything I don't like, I will move it on.
And that's my story :)
-
Wow- somewhere with records for sale on that scale is rare-- enjoy plundering!
-
Several shelves packed with library records
Wow, that would be a dram for everyone, to get stumbled with..
-
Singapore? A hidden trove of De Wolfe LPs? Amazing!
-
That's quite a story! Welcome :)
-
How can I collect library music?
-
Discogs and eBay are good starts if you’re buying LPs.
-
Thanks.
-
I'm interested in how newer members are getting into library music- share your tales.... :-)
For me, I always knew of library music I guess you could say, I just wasn't fully aware of it or how to obtain it. I knew there was this awesome music that I'd hear on commercials or videos, but I just couldn't buy in the local record store, and nobody behind the counter ever knew what I was trying to explain or ask about. For the most part, it was simply a quest that I never fully explored because availability was so limited at the time. Within the last few years though, I guess the itch happened again where I was almost entranced by this music I could never find. Fast forward and I'm glued to the set watching a series called Tim & Eric Awesome Show, and also Dr. Steve Brule, both of which are loaded heavily with library music. I then started watching YouTube videos with information on tracks used in the show which was quite overwhelming, but it was great to finally learn something about this mysterious music that has eluded me all these years. Those steps lead me here, as a complete novice, but still very much entranced.
-
I'm Back!! Great to see everyone again.
On another note - Finally managed to actually own an actual KPM 1000 series LP, after endless searching, and record shops going 'what an earth do you mean??'
-
I'm interested in how newer members are getting into library music- share your tales.... :-)
Always had an eclectic taste in music, collected soundtracks and rarities over the years, got record collector book, and the murky depths of the back pages mentioning library music.
started on KPM, Chappell and others, found such a depth and contrast, drives the wife round the bend.
but then again I do like very extreme music too, grindcore, metal, jazz, chiptune and the like.

Hi all,
I'm a bit confused as to the story of LMT until now, since I don't quite recall when I signed up for the last one (librarymusicthemes.com), whether it was before or after the apparent original admin being booted out (just read about that now). I only remember librarymusicthemes.com having been hijacked by some "Moroccan Cyber Army" and disappearing shortly thereafter. Little did I know there has recently been established the apparent seventh generation of this forum, so I immediately signed up to this forum as well. Even though I haven't received the admin confirmation mail I was promised, it has either happened without notice or I can already login, thankfully.
-
Welcome (back) digdeeper. That old .com site was just a glitch...
Not sure about the confirmation mail, but you're here ;)
-
Welcome back digdeeper.

Used to be a member on previous LMT boards. Hopefully (and finally) the hard times are over. Feels great to be back and see you all again!
-
Welcome back!

Yep, welcome back Domi.

Hello!
My name is Adam, and since 8 years I'm collecting video tapes and recovering TV stuff (usually from Polish TV) like oldschool channel designs, closedowns, startups, commercials, news reports etc. Of course TV=library music, especially TV from back then ;)
And I'm here now, introducing myself and hoping to succesfully cooperate with You here.
Regards ;D

Hi there everyone, I haven't been here in a while.
I may make some requests soon, as one of my hard drives crashed, and I need to recover some albums.
Happy to share what I have! If anyone wants to make a request.
All the best!

Welcome back, VideoExplosion!

Hello! My name is teppaman.Long time no see.
I noticed last year that the Library Music Themes were rebuilt, but I tried many times and I could not log in with "teppaman" so I created a new account with "exTEPPAMAN".
I have depressed, but now I cured.
I changed jobs and the living environment has changed, so I think that I can not write at frequencies like before.
However, I would like to write it little by little.
Best regards.
-
Welcome back!
-
Nice to see you back Teppaman. Welcome.

Just wondered if this version forum has a rules post?
I know the previous versions of this board use to have a rules section but I cannot locate one on here.
Reason why I ask is because I see an increase of people who sign up simply to make request after request without contributing the board whether it be an upload or discussion. This is such a great board with many amazing members and would be a shame for it to become full of "give me's".
Also may I make a suggestion on splitting Library Vinyl and CD rips. There are many members on here who simply collect vinyls and some who simply collect CD's. This would make people who collect whichever one a lot easier, plus easier to see if there is any updates. Just an idea anyway.
Keep up the fantastic work!

Hi there!
Subscribed me because of the great posts and vibes here on this beautiful place! Been collecting library records for a few years now, and even after all these years it still amazes me how many great records were made, which I've yet to discover! I hope to share some music with you in the near future.
Keep up the good work,
All the best,
Stijn

A short note to say "hello" once again, having tracked down the forum's latest location.
I see my Pal Doug is here. He really is a pal; he's been very generous and helpful to me over there years.
My interest is mainly in the Langlois and Hi-Q libraries, as well as the EMI Photoplay series from England.
I'll likely lurk when I'm here.

Hello Don, and welcome.

Hi everyone!
Finally I found an active forum dedicated to library music. :D
I'm a big fan of library since a few years. Actually started with me aged 13 or 14, after I found some music I've searched since a long time accidentally when I somehow stumbled into a production music site.
By now I have listened to more production and trailer music than film music or any other "normal/popular" type of music! ;D
I'm usually more into newer production music since production standards obviously greatly increase with newness. I'm also not a collector and very picky. But there is such a ton of production music out there and thus also a ton of gold!
I'm actually also a production and trailer music composer... haven't done much so far, just starting out - but working towards doing this full time. I don't like film scoring, too many restrictions, so library music in any form is the best outlet for me. :)

Welcome aboard!

Hey guys & gals, long time no see, hope everyone is well :)

Welcome back!

Welcome back!
cheers matey, hope yer well!

Nice to be back albeit a different username, can't remember what it used to be.

Hello, everyone!
I have many nicknames on the Internet, but you can call me Moleoman here, and if I'm not mistaken I'm the second (after adamz689) user from Poland in this forum.
I'm interested in library music since ca. late 2015/2016, having been inspired the fact that adamz689 listed some music tracks identified by YouTube in descriptions of his uploads. Since the YT accounts tend to be banned, and the music YT identification in some reuploads sometimes fails, I've decided to make notes about used stock music in a Word document. Also, I have started to skim through various tracks and libraries (mostly those released before 2005/2006) available on production music websites mostly to find out about some mysteries about tracks I have heard during my childhood.
To ensure that my acquired knowledge about identified library music won't be lost in any way, I've set up some threads about production music in two forums - one in a Polish forum Media2.pl (mostly about tracks used in channels available either in Polish and/or in Poland) and two others on Animesuperheroes (previously Toonzone), each dedicated for stock music used in Turner's kids channels and Disney/Fox Kids/Jetix channels, respectively.
Of course, during my "quest" I have to overcome the obvious problems, such as when a particular track, album or even library becomes discontinued either in one territory or worldwide. In fact, what frequently surprises me during my findings is when I find out that some musical pieces that I (or to an extent any person interested in stock music) thought to be library music, turns out to be either a commerical one, or even a... sound effect.
I hope my findings would be helpful for anyone interested in such types of music. By the way, I would also like to apologize for my poor English in some places.
-
Welcome. I wouldn't worry about a particular track or album being lost as most things had physical releases on vinyl or CDs somoeone will have it. If it's was on vinyl somoene here is fairly likely to ne able to get it.
-
I'm happy to know this site :)
-
Hi!
It's my first day here.
Actually, it's my second week here. I've been lurking around the forum, seeing what you folks have been up to. And frankly, I'm blown away.
The amount of work and dedication on display is, to put it mildly, outstanding. Wish I'd discovered this forum earlier!
Cheers and thank you for the music :)
-
Thanks, kHz, and welcome aboard!
-
I've been away for a while, and still not came back regularly,
but it's nice to see new faces and read your stories.
Welcome aboard Desmond, Moleoman, KHz and Zoomo.
And great to see you back too, Charlie Spliff. Missed you.
-
Found this forum while googling for library music and was so excited to discover an active community dedicated to some of the best music created in the previous century! :)
I love library music and it's the soundtrack that accompanied my childhood, as it was heavily used in TV productions and between programs as filler music.
Excited to be here!
-
Welcome aboard. Glad you found us. Where did you grow up? I had the same experience growing up with library music in the UK. Huge chunk of my childhood was spent recording music off the TV with a microphone in my hand trying to stop the budgie chirping!

I think I've been part of every iteration of LMT so far, but somehow I did not register for this one over the past two years. (Well, I swear I did, I even have my password written down and it seems to have been at the time 7.0 started up, but I tried to log in yesterday, it didn't work, and the password reset said my username/email didn't have an account associated with it, so I had to (re?)register.)
Anyway, I'm back!

Welcome home! We had a minor database screw-up early on which caused some users to 'disappear', that's probably why. Mea culpa

Mystery solved, I guess. All is forgiven. :)

Welcome back TServo.

Yes, an early user glitch as Mr says... happy you made it back after all these years!

Hey there. Can you let me know whats best website to upload stuff here. I see a lot requests that i have on my drive so i want to share with others. Some are my own rips, others are from different sources like SLSK. I want to contribute to this site, since so many of you guys are sharing some amazing stuff
-
Pixeldrain is simple. Mediafire, Mega.nz n Racaty all popular too.
-
Those. Ditto.
-
Muchas gracias
-
Awesome to be here - just discovered this site! Needless to say I'm a record collector... also occasional DJ who liberally sprinkles each show with library music and an eclectic smorgasbord of genres/era's/scenes that grab my ear.
Thanks for this labour of love and looking forward to contributing.

Hello! I’m new here too, having stumbled upon this while searching for a specific rip, and found a treasure trove of information and shared passions!
I’m based in Brighton, UK. I used to scour markets and charity shops for interesting looking vinyl as a teenager, and bought them based on the covers. I started collecting Frank Chacksfield, Bert Kaempfert and of course Geoff Love. Then I discovered the mighty CDHW label of obscure European soundtracks (Schulemadschen Report by Gert Wilden) and exploring Piero Umiliani, Jean Claude Vannier, and Alessandro Alessandroni. Later, I discovered the reissues of Finders Keepers, and Trunk Records, plus a few choice compilations leading me directly to the vaults of KPM, De Wolfe, Harmonic Mood Library and Sylvester.
I’m trying to find my way, and hoping you well-versed lot can help direct me to the diamonds and classics any self-respecting library muso should own!
