Ah, so that's where the tracks credited to (but definitely not composed by) Jim Blake came from - NLR appears to have had some arrangement with the BBC sound effects library too, which may explain how some of Dennis Wilson's silent movie tracks ended up being released by Exteme wrongly credited to Blake

Updated with a reissue key, identifying some of the original track titles and their origins. Most or all of the Italian cues are from Cinevox.
