Fuori Orario started with a box of library records bought for almost nothing at a market in Bologna. These are the ten I would save first.

Why library music

Library records were made for television and film, sold to studios, never to shops. Nobody expected anyone to listen to them for pleasure, which is exactly why they are so strange and so good.

The list

The full list, with notes on where I found each copy, is in the archive alongside the episode From the library.
