0:03:00 Let It Be Me - This ensemble have covered Where Have All The Flowers Gone?, Close To You, I'll Never Fall In Love Again, and plenty more - only ever heard on S1K
After many hours of listening, I have determined that Seeburg built their releases around a 33/33/33 percent rule. One-third of each record consisted of Seeburg's in-house recordings of pop, show tune, the odd classical piece, film, and other standards "name tunes," as I call them. The following third consists of in-house production tracks, music written just for Seeburg. However, sometimes one can tell the arranger/composer based their tune on a specific pre-existing "name tune" but tweaked the melody enough to not be accused of plagiarism. The last third was what I call "guest-artist" tracks, mainly from the various European easy-listening instrumental groups, which for reasons unknown, are mostly unclaimed on TH-cam... maybe that is because they have mostly entered their public domain there, so there is no commercial incentive for those labels to do so for most of what appears on the S1K records. One also hears some Oberstein record label content, mainly on the older S1K releases, along with instrumental background music from the background record labels of that day, the most common being the 101 Strings Orchestra recordings from the Miller Sound Corporation (ran Somerset Records- they are prevalent at thrift stores). Even on the last S1K releases, the most tracks that get flagged by Content-ID is around 10, and with the average number of tracks for an S1K release being 30, is compelling evidence they strictly held to the 33/33/33 rule throughout their 27-year run (with a two-year extension with the Mountain Theater Network S1K format releases)
7:57 - La La La Note: This also appears on BA-112-B and IND-124-A from RR-67 (7-1-1976) while also appearing on BA-109B and IND-121A from R-76 (10-1-1978).
