Yet another welcome light music compilation from EMI's vaults: 21 tracks dating from 1933-70. Eric Coates is represented by three pieces (but he was especially popular as a source for radio signature tunes), Robert Farnon and Sidney Torch by two each; of the 14 others, most are very familiar from other compilations, though a few, like JohnFortis' Dancer at the Fair, Woolf Phillips' Parisian Mode and maybe Clive Richardson's "trainpiece" Running Off the Rails and Donald Phillips' Skyscraper Fantasy, are rather less well known nowadays, however popular they were in British light music's palmy days. On this CD Charles Williams, Eric Coates, George Melachrino, Sidney Torch, Ray Martin and Woolf Phillips figure both as composers and conductors. The transfers are well managed.
