Library Tracks

I've put together a collection of easy listening instrumentals from the early 70s for this collection. Most are library music, and I've lost track of the details - though isn't that how library music should be?!

However, as those of a certain age will probably notice, Track 2 and the end track are a little better known being the theme from Houseparty and General Hospital respectively - both mainstays of the mid-70s ITV schedules for many years. I was very excited to find both pieces of music, but as nearly always happens I feel the versions used on the TV shows were slightly better than the versions I found!
