This release provides an overview of British composers who worked in television, film and music libraries the second half of the 20th century. LTD vinyl edition featuring exclusive text, biographies and exclusive photography. Sleevenotes are by Stuart Baker (Soul Jazz Records) and Johnny Trunk (Trunk Records). Tip!!

Aside from John Barry, whose work on the James Bond films made him a household name, the majority of composers featured here remain relatively unknown. And yet ironically they have created some of the most recognisable songs in British popular culture, their music widely disseminated on television.

This album is not however a stroll through the TV memories of the mind, but an exploration of the serious contribution that these creative musicians have on the landscape of popular music in Britain.

Most of the music featured here was commissioned by music libraries such as KPM, De Wolfe, Chappell, Bruton, Themes International, Peer International, Conroy and Amphonic.
