Default Re: Big Band records - plummy sound

A lot of pre war 78 dance band material was issued, in generally good, transfers to LP in the 1963 - 1980 period .

For example World Records SH210 Jack Jackson; SH167/8 Carroll Gibbons,SH140&172 Henry Hall; SH177&178 Lew Stone; SH127&190 Jack Hylton;SH141 Billy Cotton; SH215 Geraldo; SHB21 Ambrose; SH1078221 Ray Noble/Al Bowlly.

Ace of Clubs "Treasury" series ACL1147 Lew Stone.

Over the past few years I have found a number of these LPs in charity shops and dingy second hand bookshops. Usually at low prices 99p ea at Oxfam recently and the surfaces have been in virtually mint condition. ( Always examine carefully first though )
