Glad to see someone finds it an interesting topic. Here's a site with a whole bunch of Bruton Music covers. You can see how the designers had to work within the somewhat idiosyncratic "block of cubes" graphic designer signature of the company. I find quite a few attractive and creative. Love the Bold As Brass cover (great album!): https://maraid.co.uk/blog/2015/11/bruton-music-library-lp-covers/ I purchased a new book on the history of library music, Unusual Sounds, which is fun to read when listening to these wacky albums.

I don't know if we can post youtube links, but if you google these you can get an idea of one flavour found in these library recordings: Alan Hawkshaw - Fuel Injection - Bruton Music Library Beach Journey - Alan Hawkshaw For old school keyboard fans, there's lots of clavinet and synth grooves in Alan Hawkshaw's stuff (though he spans from experimental electronic to jazzy big band and orchestral music as well). |
"Looks like I’m alone in my looniness. :( " Well, unfortunately, no...you’re not. Plenty of walking wounded out there - your interest in Library/Production Music being a relatively benign manifestation, in any case. I’m interested in hearing some of it, though my interest might simply underscore your essential isolation and sure ain’t no mental health certification. By the way, you can definitely include links in your postings. Click the right most icon above the text box ("insert URL") that you see as you type. Paste your copied link there or simply past it in below your text in the text box. That seems to work too. |
