    'Library Music', also known as source music and occasionally mood music, was made for people who needed cheap background music for commercials, animations, low budget adverts and TV programmes. This book is a compilation of cover artworks from some of the most important and rather beautiful library LPs made throughout the 1950s, '60s and '70s. It also includes an exclusive CD of some of the rarer library recordings.
