GUILD LIGHT MUSIC GLCD5122

Following the warm reception accorded to Guild Light Music’s first collection of music associated with British Cinema and Theatre orchestras of the inter-war years (GLCD 5108), a second compilation simply had to follow. As before, it should be emphasised that there was no intention that this compilation should focus exclusively upon British orchestras but considerable research has revealed that, although such orchestras undoubtedly existed in various countries around the world, it was only in Britain that record companies seemed to consider them worthy of inclusion in their catalogues.
