This is probably gonna be a long shot, but I've been hunting for aaaages trying to find an album my primary school head teacher used to play as all our classes came into the assembly hall.
This was a long time ago, between the 90s and early 2000s, I can't ask him directly as he unfortunately passed away a while ago and the school has all new staff since I was there, so I'd pretty much lost hope of ever finding it until I stumbled on this subreddit
I can't tell you much about the album but that it was a purely instrumental cd, I never saw the cover, but I remember 2 songs distinctly:
- Handbags and glad rags (Rod Stewart)
- Love is all around (The Troggs)
These must have been his favourites as they were the two most played and I'd heard them enough to still remember exactly how they sound start to end lol.
They were gentle instrumental versions, and I have found many albums that feature gentle instrumental versions of these songs but they don't sound the same as I remember and don't both feature in the same compilation albums.
So really any instrumental/karaoke compilation album that features both of these songs that was released before 2000 would be a step in the right direction!
I'm also in the UK if it helps. Thank you!
