The Music Library !!

The Music Library is a compilation of cover artwork from some

of the most important, and beautiful, library LPs made throughout

the 50s, 60s and 70s. It features a foreword by Dammers

and an exclusive CD of rare recordings. Library music (also known

as source music and, occasionally, mood music) was first made for people

who needed cheap, somewhat generic music as backgrounds for animations,

low-budget advertisements, and television programs. Unavailable commercially

to the public, this music was pressed beginning in the 1950s in limited

quantities, and then sent directly to production houses and

radio stations for use when necessary.
