The Music People...VA.
The other side of the world now for the next few posts courtesy of JohnF (NZ) !
Some of the songs and artists I do recognise but the majority of this post are new to me...so the comment section is wide open !!
26.Stealin'
34. Holy Smoke Doo Dah Band.
David Niven...Reads The Worlds Most Famous Love Letters.
Something very different now.....I have posted another spoken word L/P so here is another one...I guess that people will either like it or just take it as just a load of words that doesn't mean very much only to the persons that received them.
The tracks do not match up with the order that is on the back sleeve....so if you do listen to this one David does give a date and the name of who its for at the beginning of the letter and at the end does say who its from !....Happy Listening !!

Great Strauss Waltzes...Werner Muller & His Orchestra.
10. Wine Women And Song.
Dr Boogie Presents..Heavy Jelly...VA
Now here's a couple of instrumentals from Luc that are very different !!....Thanks for the diversity in the music Luc !
Dr. Boogie has, once again, poured through music archives to unearth gems that have been buried in the vaults for far too long. Unlike many similar compilations that have been released over the years, these lesser-known tracks are worthy of serious reexamination. For whatever reason, these bands didn't catch on in their time, but definitely not because the music is lacking in any way. "Heavy Jelly" contains 21 rare instrumental tracks that total just under 50 minutes. There isn't a bad track to be found anywhere on this disc.
1. Out Ridin'
Acker Bilk...Above the Stars.
The cool and pleasant sound of the Clarinet with Strings !..By Mr Bowler Hat !!
