Join two of BBE’s most prolific artists and compilers, Mr Thing & Chris Read on a voyage into the mysterious, strange and wonderful world of Library Music, courtesy of Cavendish Music. Founded in 1937 and originally known as Boosey & Hawkes Recorded Music Library, Cavendish Music is the largest independent Library Music publisher in the UK and also represents a host of music catalogues across the globe.
During the Library Music heyday of the 60s and 70s, thousands of original instrumental tracks were produced across a broad range of genres for companies like Cavendish, who then created vinyl and tape collections, often arranged by theme or mood, for their customers in radio, television and film. Cult British TV shows such as The Sweeney and The Professionals as well as documentaries and feature films relied heavily on these catalogues, and companies like KPM, De Wolfe and Boosey & Hawkes went a long way toward defining the sound of British popular culture at the time.
Never commercially available, music created for these libraries that never made it to the promised land of TV or Radio was destined to languish in Cavendish Music’s vast London vault; only recently unearthed by a new generation of DJs and producers searching for rare gems or a perfect sample.
Mr Thing & Chris Read were first invited to examine the contents of the Cavendish Music archive in 2014 as part of WhoSampled’s ‘Samplethon’ event in which producers created new tracks against the clock using sample material mined from the catalogue. Whilst digging through box upon box of records and tapes looking for interesting sounds, the pair also discovered a host of 70s library music which has not only stood the test of time, but deserves to be heard in its original form.
From dramatic big band numbers reminiscent of Lalo Schifrin’s film scores to atmospheric proto-hip hop instrumentals produced before the genre’s existence, right through to fairly straightforward jazz and funk cuts; this amazing collection of music is sure to inspire and delight DJs and beatmakers the world over.

Únase a dos de los artistas y compiladores más prolíficos de BBE, Mr Thing & Chris Read, en un viaje al misterioso, extraño y maravilloso mundo de la música de biblioteca, por cortesía de Cavendish Music. Fundada en 1937 y conocida originalmente como Boosey & Hawkes Recorded Music Library, Cavendish Music es la mayor editorial independiente de Library Music en el Reino Unido y también representa una gran cantidad de catálogos de música en todo el mundo.
Durante el apogeo de la Library Music en los años 60 y 70, se produjeron miles de pistas instrumentales originales de una amplia gama de géneros para empresas como Cavendish, que luego crearon colecciones de vinilos y cintas, a menudo organizadas por temas o estados de ánimo, para sus clientes de radio, televisión y cine. Programas de culto de la televisión británica como The Sweeney y The Professionals, así como documentales y largometrajes, se basaron en gran medida en estos catálogos, y empresas como KPM, De Wolfe y Boosey & Hawkes contribuyeron en gran medida a definir el sonido de la cultura popular británica de la época.
La música creada para estas librerías, que nunca llegó a la tierra prometida de la televisión o la radio, nunca estuvo disponible comercialmente y estaba destinada a languidecer en la vasta bóveda londinense de Cavendish Music; sólo recientemente ha sido desenterrada por una nueva generación de DJs y productores en busca de gemas raras o de una muestra perfecta.
Mr Thing & Chris Read fueron invitados por primera vez a examinar el contenido del archivo de Cavendish Music en 2014 como parte del evento "Samplethon" de WhoSampled, en el que los productores crearon nuevas pistas contrarreloj utilizando material de muestra extraído del catálogo. Mientras rebuscaban entre cajas y cajas de discos y cintas en busca de sonidos interesantes, la pareja también descubrió una gran cantidad de música de librería de los años 70 que no sólo ha resistido la prueba del tiempo, sino que merece ser escuchada en su forma original.
Desde números dramáticos de big band que recuerdan a las partituras de las películas de Lalo Schifrin hasta instrumentales atmosféricos de proto-hip hop producidos antes de que existiera el género, pasando por cortes de jazz y funk bastante sencillos; esta increíble colección de música seguro que inspirará y deleitará a DJs y beatmakers de todo el mundo.
