Classic BBC Radio Theme ~ Desert Island Discs

[TrombekB]

too bad it's not the version from the today's program... with it's sound quality :(

[MrDaiseymay]

One again it's the old original recordings that have the warmth and charm--minus all the unwanted extaneous noises filtered out of course--terrific ! I agree that some of Eric Coates and Ronald Binge' music are similar, but Coates was more inclined more towards military rumbustious marches. Britain's Light Music traditional history, is virtually unique. They are all Masterpiece's in miniature.

Why does this tune remind me, not of sleepy lagoons, but of London and the River Thames on lazy Sunday afternoons?

My favourite version

[1D84down]

Nice one - it seems Mr Coates got the inspiration sitting on Selsey Bill looking across at Bognor Regis

[charade97]

@1D84down I thought it was from looking at the Eifel Tower from St. Paul's!!
