Just what I was hoping for, thanks, @Tex!

[milliondollars]

@Texas: there's one thing about the Telefilm series that i will never understand. why is N.3 a 2LP? this coumd have been a N.3 and a N.4...

... but italian libraries are just not meant to be understood, haha!

[milliondollars]

unfortunately i am not too familiar with the Boosey & Hawkes catalogue [yet!]. have only one that comes with the distinctive UK sound. i recognize a ton of samples that were used by UK artists such as Blade or Lewis Parker when i listen to this one. would be glad if anyone could recommend me other rewarding B&H...

@milliondollars

I have a few in my collection, plus a bunch in the attic along with some unwanted peers.
(If there are any peer B&H completists out there hit me up, their free to a good home :) )

Will post what I have when I get a chance.

That one sounds real nice! I know about the electronic Tod dockstader ones, they seem to be the most spoken about. Definitely an overlooked label.
I want to get some Amphonic libraries, another overlooked label.

[milliondollars]

oh, thanks Dollar! i assume there's a reason why theey are hiding in the attic, haha! unfortunately i am far away from being a completist. have recognized that two Tod Dockstader 's electronic albums as well. these were reissued not too long ago.

Amphonic is a super interesting label, too! found some of the 80s to mid-80s in a bin but i would guess that the mid-70s ones are the ones to investigate.

anyway...would be great to see you spin some of those unwanted B&H slices...

[Dollarhyde]

@milliondollars Will dig in my attic when I get a chance they were all a bit rubbish from what I remember but tastes change with time.
Now spinning
SBH 3034 - Pop Jazz Themes by Dennis Farnon
https://www.discogs.com/The-New-Concert ... se/4533125

This is my favourite Boosey that I have, which is kept on the shelf.
I've not spun it in its entirety for a while. It's a damn good listen. It's very solid from beginning to end for a library, and a B&H library at that.
Lots of copshow style drama and funk riffs. Kind of like a boosey equivalent to 'drama suite' or 'feelings' !
I think this would make a great deep cut actually. Watch this space.

Imgur is playing up so back to the attachments for now :P

[Mateo Sanboval]

^^Sounds quite interesting. Anybody have a rip of this?

[milliondollars]

one fine recommendation @Dollar! many thanks, will look out for that one...

@Mateo: pm sent...

Attn Bruton fiends!

Huge haul of them sprinkled with some deWolfe and others in a local store to me:

O-M-G ScoJo!

If you see any synth-y, electronic ones, give me a shout!

Some joker was trying to charge me £50 a pop recently in London.

[ScoJo]

Sadly this store is fully 'wise' to the game, and also famous for over-pricing generally :( They had plenty of gold but it was all 30-50 quid mark.

[texasvinyl]

"Wise to the Game Records" -- gimme all your quid!!

I love that they put them out by color though, that's awesome. I've only seen that many libraries in one place twice, once was some American label with all-green and all-purple jackets and they were all utter garbage (at least the 50 or so I had time to sample on the store's turntable), the other was a lot of less desirable filler de wolfe stuff. Never Bruton!

[milliondollars]

always welcome to see some nasty Bruton spine porn @ScoJo!!! many thanks! a classic label...

will make a shot of mine later. only need like 3-4 to complete my personal collection. those discogs prices really do not amuse me though. it will take some time till i can complete it.

[milliondollars]

got some of them for mad cheap, this is why i have quite some of them. one little thing that disappoints a is that some of the red-ish coloured ones have a strong discoloration on the spine. but, hey....you can't have it all...haha!

@milliescookies-

By all means let me know what you're missing and I can have a look...you never know!

[milliondollars]

too kind @ScoJo!!!

will drop a PM just now...

[texasvinyl]

This bootleg doesn't sound very good at all. High end is harsh, sibilance, lows muddy. Would love an original but people pay inexplicable stupid money for this record. I mean it's a good album, but $1,000 good? Come on, it just isn't. I think musica di puccio roelens and research of sound are better, maybe also lipstick and balance.

[Dollarhyde]

@texas

I'm curious to know how the og sounds as all the digital rips I've heard over the years have been of poor/limited sound quality.

[milliondollars]

@Texas&Dollar: without a doubt a super strong quality pressing. every RCA SP pressing that i came across was great by the way...

also i do not understand the hype behind this record. i mean there's like 1000 people who have this in their discogs want list and that just means something. i also like Balance and Lipstick more than this one.

***edit***
i would say the April Orchestra pressing is a good one, too...

[Dollarhyde]

I love the track northern lights but in all honesty that's the only track I remember from it.

It does seem to be very rare, also IMO its a well established Puccio 'grail' the first time I heard of Puccio was with this record.

[milliondollars]

don't get me wrong. this is a super nice record with top dollar compositions and arrangements. i just have the feeling there's records that are even better and no hype at all. for Puccio Roelens admirers this is a must, no question...

[milliondollars]

had to hear this one again after hearing Rock Satellite. Balance is another solid groover with a slight hint of disco that does not annoy. perfect laid back 80s easy jams. what a great final album before fading into obscurity! love the cover art. without a doubt, my favourite from the RCA SP series. exactly what i associate with watching TV in my childhood...

@million

Nice to here the April Orchestra sounds good too.

Will have to check out 'balance' now too :)

[texasvinyl]

Balance is great, been looking a long time for one but tough grab

Trip around the world is blazing in eBay, over 600 bucks , would love to have that one too but way too much cash!

[milliondollars]

yeah! spotted that Alessandroni just now. crazy prices going on!

this will appear on one of those foolish instagram collectors accounts in about a week or so. depends on how long shipping will take...
