Does anyone know where the tracks from West One Music's Refuel Music Sublabel originate from?
-
The Refuel cues were originally recorded for a British company known as Rediffusion, which produced mostly budget easy listening albums. They also offered some of these tracks as library music on a label called "Carlton".
-
Thanks for the info.
-
Anytime.
-
ok, but have the specific songs on these digital releases ever been released in any form? because I've checked several albums, and so far I haven't been able to identify a single song from previous LPs, based on the song title, author, or even by searching for the song title in the entire rediffusion catalog on discogs... so...? what's the trick? :o
-
Some of them have - on Rediffusion's commercial LPs, and the Carlton library series. Refuel have changed all the track titles which makes spotting them much harder, though!

For example, on 'Hi Fidelity High Street'...
Track 5 'Free As A Bird' is actually 'Lutes And Flutes' from discogs.com/release/2289039-Ike-Isaacs-Lutes-And-Flutes
Track 7 'The Fashion Of Love' is 'I Fell In Love With Him' from discogs.com/release/6970502-Ray-Martin-5-His-Strings-And-Orchestra-Welcome-Home
'Funktastic Super 70s'
Track 4 'Up Front' is 'Take 8' from discogs.com/master/197013-Pete-Moore-Orchestra-Exciting-Sounds-Of-Tomorrow
'Romantic Rendezvous'
Track 11 'Springtime Feeling' is 'I've Got A Thing About Spring' from discogs.com/release/2289039-Ike-Isaacs-Lutes-And-Flutes again
'Easy Lounge'
Track 5 'Springtime In Paris' is 'Windows Of Paris', probably from discogs.com/release/7627587-Various-Lush-String-Sounds
Track 6 'Summer Getways' is 'Return To Montana' from discogs.com/release/10040900-Pete-Moore-And-His-Orchestra-Everybodys-Talkin
Track 12 'Softly Swing' is 'Dear Dave' from discogs.com/release/2289039-Ike-Isaacs-Lutes-And-Flutes
.....I could go on!

thanks for the examples too! ;)
..and...
"Ultimate Archive Killah Funk Collection" track 11 "On The Town" is originally titled "Man On", and comes from "CF 13 - Mod: Rhythmic: Pop"...
confusing! :o
-
One that comes to mind immediately is Pete Moore's "Saturday Night Live" on the "Popalicious" album. It was originally titled "The Fat Man" and released on this album:
discogs.com/release/2409686-Pete-Moores-Solid-Rockin-Brass-Solid-Rockin-Brass
Side note, has the original tite/release of Tony Osborne's "Man About Town" been traced? That's one of my favorites from there.

The original title is 'Champagne Breakfast' - the only other release I can find is this very obscure Italian LP: discogs.com/release/9608875-The-Oxford-Squares-Orchestra-Untitled

Brilliant! Thanks a ton for confirming that one. Same LP also confirms the original name of another favorite of mine, Osborne's "In Vogue" ("Winter Starlight").

Plus on RFM 27 Retro VIP Lounge track 9 is entitled Talk Of The Town but is Frank Chacksfield's (?) recording of Tony Osborne's Springtime In Paris/Windows Of Paris. One song, three titles. So confusing!
