The Chelsea Strings - Always in My Heart

Here's another one of those "mystery" easy listening albums that turn up in the discount and thrift stores fairly regularly.

The good news about The Chelsea Strings conducted by Julian Byron is that this is a real orchestra and not some synthesizer-based dreck. Who these musicians are and where this recording was made, I haven't the faintest idea. In the mid-1990s, there were about half a dozen albums credited to The Chelsea Strings issued on the bargain-basement St. Clair label, based in Quebec. I doubt, however, that the recordings were made in Canada.

Always in My Heart, released in 1995, features some pleasant tenor sax work on Stevie Wonder's You Are the Sunshine of My Life, which you can listen to and download below.

None of the Chelsea Strings albums appear to be in print and none of their tracks appear to be available from legal download sites. However, cheap new and used copies of the CDs seem to turn up fairly regularly on eBay and elsewhere. Also sift through the bins at your local thrift stores.
