The 36 track 2CD album comes with
50-page book featuring text,
biographies and photography. It also
comes in a limited run two volume
double-vinyl super-loud super-heavy
gatefold sleeve editions. Compiled by
Stuart Baker (Soul Jazz Records) and
sleevenotes biographies by Johnny
Trunk (Trunk Records). TV Sound and
Image features British composers who
worked in television, film and music
libraries the second half of the 20th
century. Aside from John Barry, whose
work on the James Bond films made him
a household name, or Tony Hatch and
Laurie Johnson, the majority of
composers featured here - Simon Park,
Keith Mansfield, Reg Tilsley, Syd
Dale, Keith Papworth' remain
relatively unknown. And yet ironically
they have created some of the most
recognisable songs in British popular
culture, their music widely
disseminated on television. A quick
role call of these would include Neil
Richardson (who composed the theme
tune to Mastermind) and Barry Stoller
(who wrote Match of the Day). The
Simon Park Orchestra's Eye Level,
theme song to the BBC series Van der
Valk, reached number one in 1973.
CCS's cover of Led Zeppelin's Whole
Lotta Love was the theme tune to Top
of the Pops. And so on.This album is
not however a stroll through the TV
memories of the mind, but an
exploration of the serious
contribution that these creative
musicians have on the landscape of
popular music in Britain. Here then is
a guide to the amazing music of many
of the composers (both well-known and
obscure) responsible for some of the
most widely known music ever to come
out of Britain in the second-half of
the 20th century.
NB: Television Fix err..
