Colorit Library


Colorit 048 41076- Wonderland Of Sound
(The Rainbow Orchestra, 1974)

"Wonderland of Sound" is another internationally highly sought after library gem, that comes from the great archive of Brillant Musik. Like most of their library productions, this Funk smasher was produced by Brillant Musik's founder Werner Tautz. The song "La Avispa", compiled on the "German Funk Fieber Vol. 1" compilation, originates from this album.

Peer International Library


Peer International Library PIL 9023 - Reggae For Real
(The Ian Langley Group, 1974)

One of the most sought after albums on the Peer International label, featuring a strange mixture between reggae and early electronics as well as some funky highlights like the well known and often comped "Chicano Chaser".


Peer International Library PIL 9028 - Scoop
(The Music Factory, 1975)

No need to say much about this record, composers include John Fiddy, Terry Cox, Brian Dee and Clive Hicks. Much sought after, contains lots of breaks for the beat-heads and reaches prices I wouldn't wanna pay...


Peer International Library PIL 9038 - Hangover
(Wolfgang Schlüter Combo, 1977)

Classic European Jazz Fusion led by German's vibraphon virtuoso Wolfgang Schlüter. This is a very uncommon library record, which could have also been a regular release on the MPS jazz label...


Peer International Library PIL 9039 - Lost Star
(Anthony King, 1978)

A terrestrial journey through sounds with lots of synthesizers, some funky moments and spaced out disco grooves. One track of this record is to be found on the 'Dusty Fingers' compilation.

Quadriga is the sought after library label founded by Heinz Kiessling in the early '70ies. There are only 3 releases on this label (Q1, Q2, Q3), played by the orchestras of Pete Jaques and Heinz Kiessling. One would be lucky to find those records on websites like eBay for a payable price!
