Various Blow Up Vol. 2 2lp

2lp
2010/1968-73
new
Stone groovy 60s instros made for background music in film, tv, & radio. Library labels hired jazz & pop studio hacks of all stripes & took chances that larger companies couldn't afford to. Alan Hawkshaw & Keith Mansfield, names to make KPM library collectors put up their hands & hand over their wallets, are all over the place. Their arrangements are as funky & psychedelic as anything by a band with it's own light show would be. Compiler Paul Tunkin began a 60s DJ night at a London bar called 'The Laurel Tree' in the early 90s, & eventually became one of the UK's leading collectors of library music.
