The Cream Of The Chappell Music Library Sessions



Because underscoring all of this will be strident horns, a pounding drum, an insistent guitar or two, and maybe even an urgent piano. This is the world of television incidental music and the great British production libraries. Unsung and prolific heroes working on hundreds of sessions, and thousands of recordings set the tone and the feel for pretty much every genre on UK programmes for the duration of the 60s and 70s and beyond.


In fact, his work forms the bulk of series one of Space: 1999, with the theme, full scores for episodes such as Black Sun, and Breakaway, and underlying percussion in the episode The Full Circle, with all other episodes bar one featuring re-edited versions of his library production music.

Derek Wadsworth was a veteran jazz musician and arranger when he stepped in to score series two. The jazzier, more driving soundtrack was echoed in an updated, synthesised theme song, with library production music and re-edits stepping in again to fill out other episodes.


The beauty of library music is that it not only provides a fascinating aural history of 60s and 70s music, but also that there are literally thousands of tracks with either ridiculously affordable licensing fees, or in some cases none whatsoever. Library Music (and the related Now Sound) have seen a resurgence in both DJ mixes and in the loungecore revival clubs of the late 90s like the Indigo Club, and albums like In-Flight Entertainment.


Personnel on the production end of recording sessions included Brad Gilderman and Thomas Russo as the recording engineers, Robbie Robertson as the soundtrack's producer, Mick Guzauski as a helper for the final mix, Babyface as producer for "Change the World" (single mix and instrumental version), and Clapton as producer for the record's b-side "Danny Boy." All recording actions were overseen by music supervisor Kathy Nelson. The music mastering for the 1996 single release was done at Oasis Mastering in Burbank, California.[6]


The list of recorded song titles is not comprehensive. Many songs were often recorded by multiple artists or the same artist produced different versions. Classic blues songs such as "Come on in My Kitchen" by Blues legend Robert Johnson were recorded by numerous artists over the decades. In the interest of limiting the size of this page, only one recording of a specific song title typically appears (the exception occurs when that song is on an album with other food-related songs). To find all recorded instances of a song in the Blues Archive, conduct an advanced library catalog search, placing the song title in quotes in the Keyword field and limit the location to "Special Collections/Blues." Use the same site to look for additional music about specific food commodities, dishes, and kitchen equipment.
