Joe Loss & His Orchestra

Obviously I imagine that this is not the "Joe Loss Band" of the 40's.....Not much info about this L/P anywhere just a general note about the Sound !....But it was the 70's the Hey Day of Stereo !!

But it is still a good set of sweeping orchestral tunes !!!!..As quoted below from the back sleeve !

Joshua Alexander "Joe" Loss LVO OBE (22 June 1909 – 6 June 1990) was a British musician popular during the British dance band era, and was founder of the Joe Loss Orchestra.

The Joe Loss Orchestra was one of the most successful acts of the big band era in the 1940s, with hits including "In the Mood". In 1961 they had a hit with "Wheels—Cha Cha", a version of the String-A-Longs' hit "Wheels". Other hits included David Rose's "The Stripper" in 1958,'Sucu Sucu','Must Be Madison','The Theme from Maigret' and "March of the Mods (The Finnjenka Dance)" of 1964.

The Joe Loss Orchestra carries on under the musical direction of Todd Miller, who was a vocalist with the band for 19 years before Loss's death. In 1989 Joe Loss became too ill to travel and in 1990 he entrusted the leadership to his longest serving band member, trombonist and player manager of many decades, Sam Watmough and to Todd. The orchestra has been in constant operation since 1930 and in 2015 it celebrated its 85th anniversary.

Specialist dance band radio stations continue to play his records.
