Yes track 3 is good. If this is the same group as track 2 of CUBAN BOY then I must say this track is immeasurably better. It's a bit like "Lucille".

If you listen carefully to the Chacksfield Ceefax tapes you'll notice two distinct orchestras both called the Frank Chacksfield Orchestra. One has a set of close-harmony woodwind players, a flugelhorn, and a slightly muffled string section. The other has a very large vibrant string section and features an accordion. Frank would have had several different orchestras in his time, all bearing his name.

Another excellent test card tape we have here, especially track number 3.
