LIBRARY LP Radio Program Music OSCAR BRANDENBURG ORCHESTRA test card fuzz breaks Artist: THE OSCAR BRANDENBURG ORCHESTRA

Title: THE OSCAR BRANDENBURG ORCHESTRA VOLUME II

Format: LP

Label: RADIO PROGRAM MUSIC, UK (RPM 101)

Year: 1971

Style: Library, big band, jazz funk

Info: Original UK pressing library LP on this rare KPM offshoot label, featuring sessions dating from around 1968.

These tracks were used a lot as television test card music so have become highly sought after...

Not only that but tucked away on here is the absolutely fantastic Scufflin', which is a rework of David Lindup's KPM funker 'The Fast Machine', with killer break, sleazy brass, super fuzzy electric guitar and groovy swirling hammond organ! You can listen to it here:

Listen

Oscar Brandenburg himself is a joint pseudonym for Alan Moorhouse, Neil Richardson and Johnny Pearson, with a bunch of top Brit session players (including Kenny Clare on drums).

Comes in original front laminated picture sleeve and has original plain paper inner sleeve.

14 tracks:-

-side 1:
FINGS AIN'T WHAT THEY USED TO BE
I DREAM OF YOU
SCUFFLIN'
HOMETOWN
MUSIC TO DRIVE BY
COME SWING WITH ME
MY GUY'S COME BACK

-side 2:
SWINGING AFFAIR
GRAVY WALTZ
CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS
SLIPPED DISC
SARAWAKI
IT'S A PITY TO SAY GOODNIGHT
LIFE IS NOTHING WITHOUT MUSIC

Vinyl in very good+ condition and plays through great with just a bit of light background noise in between tracks. There is one light scratch on the third track of side 1, but luckily this does not affect play. On side 2 there are a couple of light scuff marks but again these have no effect on play.
Sleeve in very good condition with the beginnings of a small split in the middle of the title spine. The total track duration is written on rear, and there is a tick next to each track name (with the exception of Scufflin' - the original owner was obviously not a groover!).
