Default Synchro 78s

Good morning
Does anyone know where I can find Synchro 78 RPM records
I'm looking for a Synchro 78 RPM record called 'Winning Post', it may come under a different title
Thanks very much
Sharon

That record label is a library music label.
Where have you heard the piece you are interested in?

That title doesnt seem to appear on the Synchro label.
I know you have been researching these things for a time. Unfortunately with Border now being only ITV studios as with so many regions, information may be hard to come by.

There's one titled "Paddock Parade", and I'm wondering if it could have been re-titled "Winning Post"? Long shot, I know, but they are both horse racing titles.

There are several "winning post"s on Spotify
Is yours a song, ie with words, if so how does it go?

Hi Phil, having tried to help Newgirl2013 with this enquiry, I can vouch that the track is an instrumental, hence why it's causing some difficulty in recognition.

Actually there are two tracks I'm having problems with, very frustrating.

If someone would like to PM me their email address I will send the two tracks as an attachment to see if anyone can identify them,

Good morning
I've now found out that Winning Post is a re title
The original title was Paddock Parade
I've still hand no success with the two mystery tracks
I've still found out they're not on Synchro 78s
They're more than likely to be composed by Roger Roger and are likely to be on 1950s Chappell 78s

I think we'd all be interested why you're trying to track down these records. Pure nostalgia, or more?

I've read that a lot of light music like this didn't even get officially recorded, and the sheet music was often thrown away in clearouts, so it's lost forever.

Good luck in your searches,

Nick.

These two tracks were played by Border Television as part of their Start the day
They played different music every day
I have all the music except these two tracks
Track one was played on a Wednesday and Track two on a Thursday
I have the tracks but can't put a name to them
I'm a collector of ITV Start The Day Music

If you have the tracks, simply use the Shazam app! I've often been listening to Radio Three's In Tune Mixtape and Heard something l like but don't know, l open the app, point it at the loudspeaker and hey presto!
