Various Artists – Jazz Dispensary Presents: Dream A Dream with Studio G: Cratediggers Archive (1970-2009)

Description

Since the 1940s, Library Music has lurked in the shadows, peripherally touching our lives through TV and film. Among the stalwarts of the industry was UK’s Studio G, with cues heard on Doctor Who, and sampled by the likes of The Chemical Brothers, and Tyler, the Creator. Jazz Dispensary’s Dream a Dream with Studio G: Cratedigger’s Archive (1970–2009) culls some of their most sought-after cuts, with liner note commentary from Saint Etienne’s Bob Stanley, and illustrations by Ivan Minsloff.
