More delightful archival mining from Trunk, this
time bringing together classic music from this
important TV series. Yes it's kinda kitsch and
nostalgic, but it also wierdly sounds like Moondog
(ok, maybe more like Moondog collaborating with
Pentangle) - with that warm, dusty, ageless
percussive echo. Only 13 episode were ever made
but were often repeated. It starred the audacious
Fingermouse, a host of his paper friends (Scampi,
Gulliver, Flash), and was fronted by folk
musician, actor and former Play School presenter
Rick Jones as "Yoffy". Each episode involved
simple craft, music and a story or fable based on
that week's theme (such as sound, wood, shapes and
shadows). The whole series was conceived, created
and modelled in a briliant home made style by the
legendary husband and wife team Joanne and Michael
Cole, the minds behind much of "Playschool", the
books and TV series "Bod", and "Ragtime". The
Fingerbobs album was apparantly a real labour of
love for Trunk - there were no masters and very
little paper based archive to speak of, so no set
stills, no paper puppets. All that really remains
are a few scraps of paper in the Cole's very small
archive and the Fingerbobs annual, which contains
nothing but pecualir drawings, none that really
related to the show. But, as the album was going
to print Lo Cole found an exceptionally rare
promotional flyer for the series in 1973 when it
was first aired, and this wonderful little gem is
what has been used to make the fabulous artwork.
In order to produce a musical album worthy of
release, Jonny Trunk entrusted the ears and
musical abilities of Jon Brooks (AKA The Advisory
Circle) to pull together a musical collage of the
whole series. So, we have all the themes, all the
songs, all the instrumentals, a scattering of
stories too. The music is a touch folky, a little
whimsical, classically nostalgic, humble, hip,
witty and occasionally camp (Gulliver's song).
Fingerbobs was possibly the last remaining
unreleased score from TVs golden era, and finally,
thanks to this first ever release, we can now
enjoy it whenever or wherever we want. Top stuff.
