i'll take that as a no?Originally posted by [bI want to go to the land of ooog! -
Is this a United Artists record? The Hollywood Studio Orchestra sounds like one of the names they'd give to one of their session orchestras.
Any more info, Mr Monster?Comment

hello lord thames, thanks for the reply, here's a bit more info, your right the label is united artists, cat. no. is ULP1205, the date is 1968, other artists on the record are John Barry, Count Basie, Elmer Bernstein, Francis Lai + some others i haven't heard of, look forward to your reply, oh yeah can you have a look at my Dick Hyman thread, no ones replied yet, and i'm feeling a bit left out.

United Artists had a habit of releasing cover versions of film scores credited to names like The Hollywood Studio Orchestra - these would end up being licenced to cheapo labels like Hallmark, or on their own compilations.
Unfortunately, they rarely (if ever) credited the arrangers responsible - at a guess, I'd say it might be Leroy Holmes, as he did a lot of stuff for UA in the 60s.Comment

You bet I'll have 'em!! Thanks.
I'll pay the postage if you want - just waiting for Lloyd's to cough up a new chequebook......
For what it's worth, found another issue of the Chico Lopez LP on a different label (Turnover), credited to another Syd Dale alias, Dali Caldis.
There's a pic purporting to be Mr Caldis on the sleeve - it doesn't look like Syd to me, but you never know!Comment
