I have all the Philips CDs as well as the Sony, and there's some gems there for sure. I really like By Request, I think it has the only Philips recordings of the Jaws Theme, Olympic Theme (in original form without the Bugler's Dream introduction) and Liberty Fanfare. I'm also a big fan of Pops a la Russe, and the Pops by Gershwin album.

I recall enjoying Pops Britannia, Pops in Space and Out Of this World in addition to the ones already mentioned. Yes, WITHOUT! That is what I meant, post has been edited! Yeah, Pops Britannia is really good too, Space, Out of this World, Pops in Love, the Jessye Norman albums, Salute to Hollywood, Peter and the Wolf and (especially) The Nutracker Suite...so many good albums!

I can find two different versions of the ‘Peter and the Wolf / Nutcracker Suite’ albums, one with Dudley Moore narrating and one with Terry Wogan. Are these the same performances with different narration spliced into each or were they 2 separate recordings? Which version do people here prefer?

So it's more than just an usual compilation, it's an essential! Yeah, I should've mentioned those too! I agree, absolutely essential!
