About
From the Sleepy Lagoon to the Dam Busters, from Knightsbridge in a Jaunting Car to a Monastery Garden: all the classic tracks collected here are immediately appealing, and a great many of them instantly recognisable. Whatever ‘light music’ may mean—and the question has exercised some fine minds over futile years—as presented here it is, in Denis Norden’s words, ‘not just tuneful round the outside, but tuneful right through’.
