Quite why we had this I'm not sure. My uncle had served as a Royal Marine Commando in WWII, but that was the only link I could make. What was important to me, when I was tiny, was that this featured a renditions of 'The Last Post'.
I loved The Last Post. I would put this on the turntable and play it over and over again. My dad would watch me listening intently to this mournful trumpet piece and say, "I don't understand why you like this so much?" I think the answer was that I loved, and love, melancholy music. This was my introduction.
