Description

A classic Columbia 78rpm dance‑band recording by Victor Silvester and His Orchestra, featuring two elegant mid‑century favourites. On one side is the “Theme from The Glenn Miller Story”, performed with Silvester’s trademark smooth, disciplined ballroom style — a tribute to the enduring popularity of Miller’s music during the 1950s revival.

The reverse offers “Love Me Waltz”, a graceful, melodic number arranged for effortless dancing, showcasing the orchestra’s precision and warm, full-bodied tone.
Perfect for collectors of Victor Silvester, Columbia 78s, and ballroom dance records, this disc captures the charm of Britain’s most famous dance‑band leader at the height of his popularity. A lovely addition to any vintage music library.

Victor Silvester and the Post‑War Dance Revival

Victor Silvester became a household name in Britain thanks to his impeccable dance‑band arrangements and his role in standardising ballroom technique. By the 1950s, his orchestra was central to the post‑war dance revival, providing music for millions of couples returning to social dancing.

Recordings like the Theme from The Glenn Miller Story reflect the era’s nostalgia for big‑band swing, while waltzes such as Love Me Waltz kept traditional ballroom styles alive in dance halls across the UK.
