Original TV Soundtrack: Lost Empires, CD

Lost Empires was a TV adaptation of the J B Priestley novel of the same name. Made in 1986, it starred many familiar names Laurence Olivier, Colin Firth, Pamela Stephenson and John Castle amongst others, and was nominated for 6 BAFTA Awards.

It tells the story of life on the variety stage and the passing on of old music hall traditions and routines as the world descends into the nightmare of the First World War.

The soundtrack features tracks from many award winning writers and composers, performed by a host of performers that are now internationally recognised names.
