Got these- I suspect they have the tracks from the LP and some others- you may have 'Don't Stop Now' etc in amongst these but not checked.  Thanks to ChunYinZi for the help:

Yeah, thanks for that, Greta.  There's no hurry, though.   :)

The files I have are differently cataloged.
I suppose it's because they come from a different site? I got them from a friend years ago but I don't know where he took them from.

Anyways, here they are.
Keep in mind these correspondences:

003 -> 6002/6003
006 -> 6006/6007/6008
014 -> 6018/6019
021 -> 6024/6025/6026
026 -> 6032/6033

Enjoy.

Thanks for these Greta.  Much appreciated.  I'm curious about the numbering used with these ones, and where they came from.

Thank you for these shares John_Fred, Retro and Greta. This is my sort of music. Superb. So are these HRT tracks digitised versions of tracks originally released on tape? I note that many were subsequently released on Happy Records LPs and I presume CDs as well as on albums in the Golden Ring series.

I see Happy Records are tagging their music with "Ring Musik" as the performer instead of the original orchestra or band name. This is a very unfortunate practice, and I've noticed it with APM too.

Though in most cases one can get the performer details from Discogs. But I agree it's a drag.

I can kind of see why they do this, but it doesn't help when trying to cross reference tracks if the only details are of the composer/artist rather than the orchestra/band which the track is performed by.  Some are easy to work out, obviously, whereas others can be quite nebulous, particularly if they're a pseudonym or alias of some kind.  We do get a little bit of help thanks to the, 'Composers & Artists', section on here, but even so, there's a fair number that can often come up blank as to who the performers of pieces are.

I must admit to being a bit obsessive about tagging but I've avoided raising the subject here as everyone has their preferred style of tagging. Personally I try to put the performers under Artist and the composer under Composer. That generally works well until you get to library music where the performer is often uncredited. Consequently I've got loads of tracks credited to "Various Artists"!! :) :)
