I really like “You Belong To Me” - do you have any other recordings by the Opus Orchestra? I suspect this track will have come from the Disc Imports library. I’d also be interested in anything by the Brno Radio Orchestra or Orchestron Symphony.

I don't have any others. There was a Rondor Music Ltd LP series from the early 1980s. These were not intended for retail sale but to be liscensed for use as background music in public spaces such as hotels, department stores and shopping malls, or for use as ‘on hold’ music in telephone call systems. Discographic info is hard to find but the first LP was of instrumental arrangements of songs by The Carpenters, which has been listed on Ebay and elsewhere.

This is what tv was invented for. There is a story going round that 'John Logie Baird ' was found by his assistant weeping into his hankerchief in an in-consolable fit of depression, When asked why he was crying, he said, " It's taken me years to get this invention off the ground ", His assistant then said , " This is fantastic John, what an achievement ! why are you crying ? ", Baird replied, " Yes I know, but look, There's fuck-all on ".

That was a name of convenience often used by compilers where the actual artist couldn’t be traced at the time. It’s actually composed by Nicola Piovani was also used for an obscure Italian film in the early 1970s. www.discogs.com/master/763715-Nicola-Piovani-Daniele-E-Maria-Colonna-Sonora-Originale-Del-Film

Thanks for this nostalgic production 🙌 👏, we got our first colour tv in 1969,a 25 inch Philips which gave an outstanding picture, but the valves were overdriven and I was having to set the convergence up every couple of weeks to this exact test card . It would be very useful if broadcast today to adjust the contrast to spot on and the brightness instead of using the built in facilities to do this.Its more exact .Best Regards,Ian 👍😊
