Sound 8: Background Music For Your Personal Movies

I'm a huge, HUGE collector of "Music for/Music to" records. This one comes like a piece of collecting heaven, where even the tracks have titles like "Music For Travel Scenes", "Music for Water Activities", "Music for Family Fun", etc.

I have other "music for home movie" records, but this one seems to be the best I've ever come across. The instrumentals are great, and sound like they were ripped off the soundtracks of Mental Hygene films of the 50's. My favorite track is "Music for Children's Activities".

There are absolutely no credits for the musicians on this LP, other than the fact that it was put out by the Eastman Kodak Company.

Dig it.
