Since the 1940s, these behind-the-scenes recordings have quietly shaped the sound of film and television — and more recently, been rediscovered and sampled by artists like 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗕𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀 and 𝗧𝘆𝗹𝗲𝗿, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿. At the heart of it all is Studio G, a label whose output could be heard on everything from Doctor Who to obscure cult classics.

This compilation from Jazz Dispensary brings together some of Studio G’s most evocative and collectible tracks, spanning psych, pastoral jazz, and cosmic funk. Featured composers include James Harpham, Paul Lewis, and Trevor Nightingale, with a full tracklist that traverses seasonal themes, dreamlike landscapes, and space-age experimentation. The release includes liner notes from Bob Stanley of Saint Etienne and original illustrations by Ivan Minsloff, adding context and colour to this archival journey.
