For 40 years the U.K.-based Pasadena Roof Orchestra has made a career out of playing music in the style of pre-swing era dance bands; in other words dance bands before 1937.
Formed in 1969 by Johnny Arthy, the orchestra's first gig came the following April, and it has been performing and recording ever since.
The album Happy Feet dates from 1987 and was only recently re-released on CD. It already appears to be in short supply. The MP3 for A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square comes from the original vinyl version of the album.

While Happy Feet is available as an outrageously priced import CD, the widely available digital downloard version is much cheaper.
