About

Sailing By – the essential collection of British Light classics!

Decca bring you over two hours of the best and most uplifting classics in the repertoire of Britain’s fine tradition of British light music, including Ronald Binge’s ‘Sailing By’, familiar to all radio listeners as the introduction to the shipping forecast on BBC Radio 4, Eric Coates’s ‘By the Sleepy Lagoon’, a version of which is used as the theme tune to BBC Radio 4’s much loved ‘Desert Island Discs’ and many more nostalgic and uplifting classics.
