Two original albums by the Pasadena Roof Orchestra on one set, 'A Talking Picture' and 'Night Out', both of which were already recognised as inspirational works when they appeared in the late 1970s. Originating from the vinyl era, neither album has been issued on CD until now.

Founded in 1969, the The Pasadena Roof Orchestra has remained a permanent fixture on the music scene since then. They perform their own music - the kind of music America was dancing to from the 1920s to the 1940s, the original 'popular music'. The old standards are still popular to this day and the timeless quality of swing is something that has not eluded superstars like Robbie Williams or Michael Bublé.

What the musical director Duncan Galloway says: "Here are some classic Pasadena Roof Orchestra tracks which we have managed to secure from the archives. They are taken from early recordings, and include several tracks that have been 'resting' in the Orchestras library. It is slightly impractical for the current line-up to travel with over 2000 arrangements, so many of these tunes have not been played live for quite a while."
