DVD - Sounds of Praise - The Salvation Army Gospel Arts Concert 2005
October 10 2005

Live from the Royal Albert Hall
CD 24643

In 1963, The Salvation Army, in conjunction with EMI records, unveiled to the record-buying public the first live LP, capturing the highlights of that year's Music Leaders Festival from the Royal Albert Hall. This innovation must have been a commercial success because the exercise was repeated year after year.

The Band of the Coldstream Guards
Conductor: Lt. Col. Graham Jones MBE
Egon CD SFZ 146

This recording was made in London’s Henry Wood Hall in July 2008, prior to the Regimental Band of Her Majesty’s Coldstream Guards’ tour of Japan later in the year, the ninth time that the band had travelled there since 1985.
The disc opens with Lt. Col. Graham Jones’ march in the traditionally British military style, Salute to Victory, before a lively arrangement by Lance Corporal James Scott of music from three television series of the 1970s
in Who Loves ya Baby? Featuring the themes from Space 1999, Kojak and The Streets of San Francisco, the band is joined by guitars and a vigorous percussion section in what is an enjoyable work.
