Looking for beautiful music reels or CDs (Bonneville, IBMA/GM, SRP, etc.)

Hi everyone,

I'm a CD collector and I run a small, non-commercial online radio station devoted to easy listening, so this format is close to my heart. Because of the mystique around beautiful music, it's been hard for me to find the kind of variety I want to put on the air.

This week I got hold of a Bonneville Broadcasting System CD (disc #2902): 18 instrumental versions, 17 by Paul Mauriat and one by Nick Ingman — a total rarity that I've already worked into my station's rotation. Honestly, it felt like striking gold.

What I'm looking for:
- Bonneville Broadcasting System CDs (any disc number — I'm especially after Pat Valentino, Frank Barber, Lex de Azevedo, etc.)
- Any instrumental or custom library material in the same vein, such as Greater Media (Frank Barber, Nick Ingman, Johnny Gregory, etc.)

P.S. Even if you don't have anything to sell, I'd be grateful for any leads, catalog-number lists, or pointers to people who held onto their station libraries.

Thanks,
Marco
 
Youtube can be a resource for this genre of music. So can the Internet Archive. While clearly not as good as having authentic copies, some collectors upload material in decent enough quality that it could be downloaded and cut for use on an internet station like yours with only minor tweaks such as equalization. Try searching for terms like beautiful music in combination with others like reel to reel.

Just a handful from memory:
