If you like the classic easy listening sound, you could do far worse than search out LPs and box sets from Reader's Digest and Longines Symphonette. Fortunately, these albums turn up frequently in thrift and second-hand stores and also are in plentiful supply from online sellers. You shouldn't be paying more than a few dollars for them.
Unlike Reader's Digest, Longines Symphonette rarely credited the musicians on their orchestral recordings, so there's no indication of who plays on this album, Gift of Love, which came out in 1974.
As was usual with Longines, Gift of Love is a meticulously recorded instrumental set of standards, including The Very Thought of You, I'll Walk Alone and You'll Never Know, the last of which you can listen to and download from the link below.
You'll Never Know
As far as I know, none of the Longines Symphonette recordings have turned up on CD but some of them are available on legal download sites under the name Longines Symphonette Society or in some cases just The Symphonette Society.
