I was on that recording. I think I may have a copy in storage somewhere. The phot/artwork on the front was Staff Band marching out of the Hovercraft the Princess Margaret at Dover. Mick Eastbrook was the soloist on Alfie. I will try and find it.

I think I may have found a copy in Portsmouth... I'm told the musicianship and performances on the recording are brilliant. Hopefully I'll have a copy in my hand this weekend 
Thanks to everyone for their input...

The arrangements by Ray Woodfield of the Bacharach songs were excellent and I'm sure that the music is still played today
I was in the horn section at the RAH for the MFM Concert in 1974 and it was a privilege to play alongside Frank Lloyd who, in addition to the playing the horn solo in Alfie, played Nimrod (Young Winston) on a brand new Paxman Horn bought that day!
(It was decided that Frank would play the solo, rather than all four 1st Horns, who slaughtered it at the rehearsals in Deal!)
