I thought I had heard all of Jimmy Howe's LPs and bought most of them, but I don't remember this one, so Thanks for posting. It's now saved in my YT playlists😊
These recordings were mostly done in one day, 2 sessions and mostly only 1 or 2 takes of each item. Lip busters! Listen to the great energy in the playing right down to the last track. Arnie Bibby's jazz clarinet in The Saints is a highlight.
Also I love how Jimmy Howe often features Tommy Wilson playing on his own or with a Euphonium in the middle of some marches on various records .2 superb examples here are Out of the Blue with the Euph and on his own in On the Ball ,you cannot miss Tommy's distinctive cornet sound

This was band at about it's peak under Jimmy Howe. Terrific playing, made just before the Japan & Australia Tour.
Thanks Ross this is awesome Sports Parade Lp 1970 , Absolutely brilliant,all the famous sports themes and more from my youth.
You cannot beat this kind of stuff.
