It seems I cannot pick up a straightforward record !

Mood Music so far as I can see was an EMI sub - title , of course the one I have is on FDH , which I presume is Music Publisher Francis Day and Hunter. Its at FDH 196 so there must be a few about , first published 1958 but I can find no 45 counterpart.

Can you add FDH as label and anyone got better information on this series ?

Just a quick look at Google and it seems there were many Francis Day & Hunter discs all numbered in the FDH series..

Link to composers on http://www.classicthemes.com/moodComposers.html

But I cannot get internet search to throw up in significant quantities FDH series 78s. There are references on cinema music sites , 405tv sites , Robert Farnon society and so on but these only give one or two examples that may not be complete.

Anyway add label FDH ?

From a CD ad Sidney Torch As well as his conventional work for radio and commercial records, Sidney Torch became a master of composing, arranging and conducting Mood Music now better known as Production Music. Some of his many recordings for the London publishers Francis, Day, and Hunter are now made available again in this collection; most of these rare tracks are appearing for the first time on a commercially available CD. This CD presents a special selection of unique archive production music recordings made in London during the second half of the 1940s. When World War 2 was over, the famous music publishers Francis, Day, and Hunter FDH decided to establish their own Recorded Music Library.

Oh ! #!~@**^% . Is that one a Francis Day and Hunter Production or an EMI Mood Music Sub Label. !!!

I think FDH was absorbed at sometime into EMI Music Publishing.

I did try searching to see if there were any tracks issued on FDH series that were not Mood Music , anyone know. Thanks
