The record is absed on the Radio 21st Birthday programme.

''Where does Johnny Roadhouse buy his braces ?''
The question still crops up in 1972 - nearly 14 years after the NDO first delighted TV audiences with Make Way for Music, the most unbuttoned big band show of all time. This programme set out to contrast the band's sartorial disarray with its musicla elegance - and succeeded onlt too well, thus obscuring some of the NDO's more solid claims to fame.

For example, they're one of the World's finest accompaniment units. Eartha Kitt has recorded a glowing tribute to them in this role; and scores of other stellar admirers include Moirar Anderson, John Hanson and practically every other artist who has ever experienced their immaculate vocal backings.

They are also renowned for their ability to play the fly spots off the ceiling at sight. It matters little what those spots spell: light classics, such as cropped up frequently during their 1951-1956 incarnation as the Northern Variety Orchestra under conductors Ray Martin and Vilem Tausky; teenage rock (played from parts marked loud and 'orrible ma non troppa) during the late 1950's under Alyn Ainsworth and, briefy, Tommy Watt; serious works uniting them with symphony orchestras (such as the two Ernest Tomlinson symphonies of 1962 and 1965); Edwardian pit orchestr impersonations for The Good Old Days; or their own specialities on just about every light music programme on the air.

Through all this, they've kept an instantly recognisable sound of their own. It stems in part from their unusual instruments, which has always included a virtuoso flautist - a capacity in which their present conductor, Bernard Herrmann, served up to 1961. The two-man percussion department is also unusual, as is the doubling capacity of the 19 men who play nearly 50 instruments between them.

Their arrangements, particularly Alan Roper and Pat Nash, have made a distinguished contribution; but the core of the NDO sound is the relaxed, forthright swing of men who have come of age together over 21 years of musical and personal harmony. No British band is richer in foundation and long-service members. To find comparisons, one has to invoke the names of Basie and Ellington.

In 1969, a high-level reorganisation of broadcasting threatened the NDO with extinction. They stayed on by public demand, expressed in thousands of car stickers proclaiming ''THE NDO MUST NOT GO''. The campaign, organised by anonymous well-wishers, caught the mood of all Northerners, and of discerning music-lovers everywhere else. Amazingly, this massive spontaneous support arose for a band completely unrepresented on gramophone records!

So this disc is a candidate for the Guiness Book of Records as the most belated-ever LP debut of a great band.

Happy 21st birthday, NDO.
