This CD offers the other suite version of "Gone With The Wind". A 30 minutes, Seven part suite was performed by London Symphonia Orchestra, conducted by Walter Stott. Dated probably late 50s to early 60s. Please note this is not LSO. The print on the CD contains a misspelling as London Symphonic Orchestra. FLAC+Scan+log.
The bonus is several poorly recorded Stephen Foster songs by a small ensemble. I’d rather to listen to Mantovani’s version. So only MP3 is uploaded for this part.

Enjoy!
Walter Stott was an arranger and composer of popular swing band and light orchestral pieces through most of the 60s, until he decided he needed a change of pace – and turned into Angela Morley ("Watership Down")! The name of the "orchestra" probably isn’t misspelled: in those days there were many more pick-up bands used for commercial recordings, employing musicians from the various London orchestras. Thus, they needed a "fake" name for the album cover. Also, if a standing orchestra recorded music outside of the contract with a specific record company, they would give themselves a slightly different name so it wouldn’t be a breach of contract. Both variants are possible here, but most probably it’s a pick-up London band (like the National Philharmonic Orchestra or the Sinfonia of London in later years).
The Stephen Foster songs were a pleasant surprise and a welcome bonus.
Hey Wimpel69, so Walter Scott is actually Angela Morley?

Thanks for the info
The miss-spelling part is: the cover has London Symphonia, whereas London Symphonic on CD.
Yes, I agree those Stephen Foster songs are pretty good to hear.
