BENNY GOLSON - TUNE IN, TURN ON TO THE HIPPEST COMMERCIALS OF THE 60'S





















http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?jikkmosg3btbbic

Track 1 - Music To Watch Girls By
Track 2 - Wink
Track 3 - The Disadvantages Of You
Track 4 - Not Matter What Shape (Your Stomach's In)
Track 5 - Right Any Time Of The Day
Track 6 - Music To Think By
Track 7 - The Swinger
Track 8 - The Magnificent Seven
Track 9 - Cool Whip
Track 10 - The Golden Glow
Track 11 - Fried Bananas
Track 12 - Happiness Is

Not a collection of library music as such - this is a batch of Benny Golson tracks which went on to be used in commercials. There is lots of swinging 60's fun to be had with the likes of "Music To Watch Girls By", "The Magnificent Seven" and "The Golden Glow" all making an impact. Primarily a compilation of accessible jazz tunes, this album would have been improved by the inclusion of the advertisements that featured these songs. None the less it still proves to be an enjoyable and groovy listening experience.

Wowee Zowee! That looks great, I'm downloading now. Thanks very much. I like Chocoreve's quote "Either be grateful for the music for free, regardless of bitrate, or go and buy the fucking album." I wish I had the balls to write that!

I've got a nice collection of U.S t.v spots which I shall post in coming weeks. Cheers.
