The Essential British Light Music Collection

~ Release by BBC Concert Orchestra, Vernon Handley (see all versions of this release, 2 available)

Annotation

This has a picture cover, unlike the plain cover (from Amazon) shown on the other version. It may be that there are in fact only non plain covers because the tray of this one shows 9 related releases all with plain covers. Alternatively, as my copy is 2nd hand, they may all have plain slip over cardboard covers.
