HUGE thank-you for uploading these tunes in nice quality. The Stretching tape includes {IMO} some of the greatest songs in the Funtastik library, but also from some of their more obscure releases (I'm guessing you are lucky enough to have access to these.) I had only heard 16000KHz mono sample versions of all but tracks 2 & 4 before now, so I'm incredibly happy!

I Love the piece of retro jazz at 15:21 so soothing , God I miss the Test-card and those school mornings sneaking up to play the PlayStation back in the early 90s :).... Happy simpler times back then !!

[@IridescentAudio]

Said retro jazz song is called Earls Court in case you wanted to know :) cha cha cha-cha ♪

Thank you and found you again. All stress dropped away. The girl is just so sweet and sharp looking so i did go on today to. Is this nuts ...she makes me relax cool down just like precious cat Garfield loking how hes yammi eat another sandwicj or lasagne. We need some showing the way in a very very buss world. Thst aint always easy even fir the most easiest normal things. For example... I never like Cook food before the point only vegetarian. But after that all a slow perfect party - like fly to eternity. Here in world - so Nice!

First 2 tracks were on the later Slide Rule tape that was on both BBC1 and BBC2

Stretching was heard on weekends on BBC1 in the autumn of 1989 until it was replaced by Ear of the Lion.

Hi thanks for this. Does anybody know how or where to identify music for the BBC interludes from this period please? I have been trying to identify this piece: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qIime516lq6Dlac This is a recording of me playing it on the piano. It was used circa. September 1989.

[@ceefaxbbctv8788]

Yes it was never heard on weekdays during that autumn, I remember that now you mention it

😢Yes, some of these Funtastik tunes do have that Shakatak feel to them.😊

Track 3 was later used on the BBC Two tape, "Wild Wind" in 1998.

Ear Of The Lion tape on BBC1 from 1 Dec 1989 until 2 Mar 1992.

[@muhammadrafiuddinbinmohmme6078]

Who composed Ear of the Lion?

[@leejenwin1937]

@@muhammadrafiuddinbinmohmme6078 Mike Maxfield/Maximus Music. It’s styled, and named, as a take on Eye of the Tiger

[@christopherwilliams2093]

I also think that you may have a track missing from this sequence - Sensual Games was included within the tape.
