Those keen archivists at the Jazz Dispensary delve into the hallowed vaults of UK library factory Studio G and pull out some of the most obscure, psychedelic, outthere, funky and forward thinking instrumentals. Very few of these are up on the streamers so this is a proper diggers job on this.
Since the 1940s, Library Music has lurked in the shadows, peripherally touching our lives through TV and film. Among the stalwarts of the industry was UK's Studio G, with cues heard on Doctor Who, and sampled by the likes of The Chemical Brothers, and Tyler, the Creator. Jazz Dispensary's Dream a Dream with Studio G: Cratedigger's Archive (1970–2009) culls some of their most sought-after cuts, with liner note commentary from Saint Etienne’s Bob Stanley, and illustrations by Ivan Minsloff.
