charley says public information film dvd

[wooly]

this is a long shot indeed. but i have faith that i can ask just about anything here and i'll get the info, such is the knowledge base of the vultures!

does anyone have a copy of the "charley says" dvd - featuring public information films of the 1970s?

if you have it, load it up and look at film no. 139 - it's called "children watch us cross" and it starts off with some kid saying "this is vicky, this is my dad..." etc.

what i want to know is...what is the tune underneath!!!? it sounds like something either by alan parker or keith mansfield - it's very dewolfe or kpm sounding, very upbeat and funky.

if needs be, i'll post an audio clip somewhere...

someone's bound to know what this is?!

cheers,

I don't actually know what it's called, but I reckon it's by John Cameron (it's very similar to 'Tap Turns On The Water' by CCS).
I would guess it's on KPM1097, 'Jazzrock' - maybe someone who has the LP could confirm?

Dunno whether this'll work, but here goes.......

i notice that "jazzrock" is a 1972 album, which would tie in because that was the year the p.i.f itself was made, so we could be onto it. pity i don't have a copy of the record to check it out.

[sermad]

real audio crashes my pc and jazzrock is in my dads garage

Errr. Going have to be a couple of weeks until I go get it!

[wooly]

in your dads garage? serm...

hehe.

this is like a new-technology version of the old "name that tune" tv programme, back in the day. don't think they had many library tunes on there, though.

TOP AD - DEFINITELY JOHN CAMERON !!! :biggrin:

and YES it's off the JAZZROCK sessions - but,

I'm in the office so can't say which track it is .

...and I'm old enough to remember that advert

[wooly]

thanks to everyone who has chipped in on this one - i am amazed, yet again. i have added "jazzrock" to my wants list, half the battle is won already!

[bionic boy]

Don't check here regularly, so I'm sure you've tracked it but it is indeed John cameron and from memory is Brass Monkey from Jazzrock as you've said.

[wooly]

cheers. i still haven't managed to prize sermad's copy out of his hands though, unfortunately.

[sermad]

Yeah sorry. I *did* you a cdr of this. It will 100% go in the post tomorrow along with some other bits Ive been promising you!

[wooly]

did you? ah, cheers serms.

Is that a good DVD?

It's our kid's birthday on Saturday and I'm was thinking of getting him Charley Says, Look Around You and Human Remains.

Ideally, Garth Marenghi would have been released by now as well, but no joy there so I'll have to dub a vid of the series for him.

Any recommendations of slightly darker, warped comedy series are welcome.
