Whilst out with the family today, scooped a few lp's from some charities, amongst the pile, an lp called 'Galloping home,
14 top TV themes' on Polydor from '74.
Music contained within sees covers of the usual suspects
like yer 'Colditz', 'Sleepy shores' and 'Hawaii five-o'.
The alternative to this is that there are some rather fab tracks in the shape of two great John Barry tracks, 'The adventurer' (much fuzz bass, nifty tunage) and 'Orson Welles great mysteries' (fuzz guitar, fab synth bass).
also present is 'Stone fox chase' (the Old grey whistle test theme) by Area Code 615 with loads of open breaks and percussion,
and Mr Tew's 'The hanged man' ,the original. Good version of Tony Hatch's 'Man alive' (much funkier than the orig.) by Lee Williams. A version of 'Midweek theme' by Mr Johnny Scott (i think?)
given a good going over by Mr Schroeder. In fact most of the tracks are produced/arranged by him and as such are rather good. soooo, who is Lee Williams? who are Area code 615 (i have other stuff by these guys but no info). and did Mr Schroeder do a lot of this type of covers thing?, does anyone else have this, if so what are your thoughts on it.
To be honest i thought it'd be a bit dodgy, and here i am again
pleasantly surprised.
Nice!.
Thanks, your help would be appreciated.
