HARD TO FIND ORCHESTRAL INSTRUMENTALS


VA - Hard To Find Orchestral Instrumentals I [1999] & II [2003] (2 x CD's) + Artwork

Have you ever heard an orchestral piece on the radio and wondered, "What was that? Who did it? Where can I get it?". This CD has many of those great pieces. Over the years, I have come to appreciate this music. This has led me to start collecting "lounge" music, Broadway cast albums, The pieces on this CD are very difficult to find. Every one is an enjoyable timepiece.

Eric’s collections of pop and orchestral instrumentals are where you really find the rarest material. The vocal collections contain rare songs, of course, but these songs can often be found on other collections and greatest hits anthologies. Instrumentals in general are harder to find and here they are remastered to Eric’s high standards which make every release something special.  As usual along with their excellent engineering they also provide detailed booklet notes.

Everything here has been nearly impossible to find on CD and if this is your interest I highly recommend the collection. The originals of most of the tracks you find on oldies specialty labels are owned by the huge media companies who don’t see a big enough market to interest them in putting them out. This leaves a niche market to be filled by various oldies labels. Like all of these, Eric licenses the material on their collections for a limited time and when the license runs out they stop making them and they start being offered only at very high prices by secondary sellers.
