SELECTED SOUNDS LIBRARY: Part I


Selected Sound, the Hamburg based library company started with the 9000 series in in 1968. All records from that series had the same conservative, simple artwork, coloured in golden brown - nothing at all to indicate that there could be anything exciting on these records. Out of the 122 Library records that were put out between '68 and '87, there are as many below average productions as there are fantastically obscure funk and jazz pearls. Unfortunately, Selected Sound are now owned wholly by EMI, which is a real shame as these big guys aren't too interested in their old (and rather rich) repertoire.
     Anyway here is a is real Valentines treat - it's a collection of the best stuff to originate from the SS cupboards between 1968 and 1980 (i'll put up a second comp a bit later). So for those of you who are of refined taste should join me in getting the liquor out tonight and enjoying fine musical company.
