Owned by 27th Dimension Inc./Roland St. John Hanneman (ASCAP).

This is rare library from Florida (the mailing address being from Jupiter and Okeechobee)



The only library index to be found is the Gold Series released on CD/LP in 1985.



This music library company got my interest because it was used in a children's video series called Live Action Video for Kids/Real Wheels.

As of August 2019, a Youtube channel, Real Wheeler, has been posting tracks that have been used in the series. Feel free to spread the word and subscribe, no re-uploading and using the videos. The music is not royalty free.

Check it out. A new track is posted every day.
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPePHsBNIDZXXn4Pgir8Tvg/videos

The library's composers are usually Roland St. John Hanneman, Gregg Drzewicki, and Steve Quinzi.

Here is a track list of the 343 cuts from the Gold Series. The ones that are bolded are used in the Real Wheels videos. The Gold Series heavily uses a Yamaha DX7 and an Oberheim DX drum machine, and also floppy disk samples for E-MU Emulator II.

Some tracks use holophonics, a binaural recording processed developed by Hugo Zuccarelli which is also used in the Dimension Sound Effects Library released in 1987.

Here is a link to the Index of the Gold Series
