The third collaborative album between Norrie Paramor and The Midland Radio Orchestra was released during 1975 and is confusingly titled Radio 2 Top Tunes Volume 2. Key tracks include the stark and lonely Ebb Tibe, a reflective Love In Bloom and a stirring She.
The Harry Lime Theme is wonderfully evocative especially when listened to with closed eyes while Norrie’s bash at Popcorn is fabulous stuff – slowed down beats yet still funky. You’ll find yourself standing to attention when the opening strings of The Chorus Of The Hebrew Slaves kicks in and then being nicely surprised by the shimmering orchestral take on classic 1960s staple Georgy Girl.
