MASSED BANDS OF THE ROYAL AUSTRALIAN NAVY.
Original recording, "GOLDEN JUBILEE"
Original Album from Roger Downton.
Conducted by LCDR George Hooker, M.B.E., L.R.A.M., A.M.U.A
This album has the same tracks as the "GOLDEN JUBILEE" album and being a Paul Hamlyn, " Music for Leasure" release, it would definitely be a reprint. Reading the cover notes it mentions 60 years since men of the navy have been marching to these pieces, that puts it around 1970 ?. Must have been released to fill a gap or was just picked up as part of EMI producing Australian content.
This Album has Mp3 recordings.

The cover note partly reads,
The selection on this record have been chosen to provide a pageant of the music that the men of the Royal Australian Navy march to during the past 60 years. The marches have been recorded at a marching tempo of 120 paces per minute. The sequence is unbroken to ensure that there is no change of the step between each item.
The Band members with the silver drums were, Geoff Simm B/D, Jock Heath, Shaky Lloyd, Paul (Mouse) Blankesteijn, Paul Reid.
