Thanks for the tip! I ordered one too.

[tezeta]

Thank you all for the thanks! Nice to know people still read. May very well buy myself a copy for X-mas.

...but de Wolfe is the greatest music library 

Wonder how many more library publications are in the pipeline?

We’re doing something with Standard at the moment as it’s their 50th anniversary and have a few things lined up later this year but not sure a book is amongst them?

[Retronic]

Keep us posted Col. I’m a fan of Standard - some great well known UK tunes & themes on there.

[Mr]

Nice! Thanks for sharing.

I think there are definitely a few interesting stories to be told within Standard's catalogue - like for instance how the Third Ear Band somehow had some of their earliest work released on there.

Now that's a cool fact! Thanks for the thanks!

That'd be on ESL 112 "National - Balkan Ensemble/Comedy Links & Bridges".
The A-side cues are attributed to "Sweeney/Coff/Minns/Cartland". Glen Sweeney, Richard Coff and Paul Minns should be names familiar to those who know TEB, but Ben Cartland, specifically, is an odd one. Disregarding the LP copyright date of 1970, it's a name that helps date the recordings a bit, actually, as Cartland left the band very early on, before they recorded their first LP "Alchemy", released 1969. These cues seem to predate the LP.

Note that these often(-ish) seem to erroneously be attributed as being performed by "National-Balkan Ensemble". This is the side A title (essentially "National: Balkan Ensemble") and not intended as a group name.


That's not all, though - Sir George Martin has some cues on Standard. You know, the Beatles guy?

The Third Ear Band recordings ended up on Standard via Ron Geesin, who apparently passed on the tapes to Essex Music  - there was a commercial release which talks about this in the sleevenotes (though the author seems unaware of what library music is, or the Standard label in general, which makes it more confusing than it really needs to be).

Anyway, the book sounds excellent - when we met him a couple of years back, James Clarke mentioned he'd done an interview for it, and Mr Lomax is an excellent writer and compiler of CDs, so this is bound to be good!
