    Thanks as ever, TE. Coates was a purveyor of high quality light music, much appreciated by Adrian Boult, and its good to have these available, just in time for HMQ's milestone.

      As distinct from 'Light Classical'....couldn't find an EMG / Record Guide review of Coates...
      Not heard Boult's Lyrita; but Kurt List's Vienna disc is nice - Reginalds Kilbey's CBSO is v.nice (the ESD reissue contains the original TWO matrices) - and Mackerras/LSO Columbia 33C has one track not later reissued
      Wasn't sure if this was still available on CD after the ASV (LP dub?); but it seemed reasonably appropriate - the 24/96 obviously has some extended cymbal fireworks...
