Obscure commercially released alternative versions of library music

[radioman]

Hello again. I was browsing the 'extreme music' website - where I spotted "Tijuana Win The Cup" on Conroy BLMP 70 by Tony Harrison.
I was surprised to find that Tony had also recorded the tune commercially under a different title - "Holiday In Davos".
Is it worth continuing this thread, citing similar occurences - or?

The original is here:

"Holiday In Davos" can be heard here:

I actually have a good example of this!

The Zodiac by David Lindup, released on KPM 1065 - Flamboyant Themes Vol. 4, was also released under the title of "The Killing of Brother Dragon" on the Aristocrat LP "When The Saints Go".

Both tracks are also different to each other. The KPM version is in mono and ends on a sustained horn note while the Aristocrat version is in stereo and ends on a sax solo.

Holiday In Davos is a big favourite of mine, I sometimes play it on my radio show (I think it was you that introduced me to it, actually!)

Other examples I can think of off the top of my head:

Music To Drive By (Alan Moorhouse)- originally recorded by the Oscar Brandenburg Orchestra on KPM's Radio Program Music series, commercial version by the Joe Loss Concertium, arranged by composer Alan Moorhouse

That's Where I'll Be (Ray Davies) - instrumental version by Ray Davies and the Button Down Brass, vocal version by The Cavendish Chorale on Cavendish Series 10

Pandora (Ray Davies again) - original by The New Dance Orchestra on Cavendish Series 1, covered by Syd Dale's New Elizabethans for Rediffusion Reditune

Theme From A Serenade (Ray Davies again again) - original by The Ray Davies Orchestra on Cavendish Series 1, cover by The In-Keepers


There are a few library tracks that were re-recorded for BBC Radio sessions as well - there are alternate versions of Hawkshaw and Mansfield's 'She' and David Lindup's 'To Hounds' on a BBC Transcription series called Music Roundabout (presumably culled from sessions for Radio 2?), and Ray Davies (again again again) did a few by various composers including himself on his radio sessions.

Any chance of having that BBC Transcription version of She, Lord Thames? It is my favorite KPM song and hearing an alternate version of it would be a treat!
