IS "Library Music" a real genre? I dont like all the labels people put on music of the past, actually. "Bachelor pad music," "Northern Soul," etc. It's like calling the "wrecking Crew" by that name. NEVER was that when they were studio musicians at that time. Oh well. Im old.....

At one of the last stations I worked for, I grabbed the original first edition of the Capitol Production Music library. It must have been from the late 50's or early 60's. I'm glad I did because there is some really fun stuff on that library.
