Take the High Road theme

Recreation of the 1994 Take the High Road closing theme tune. I created this in Cubase in March 2019 and used the HALion Sonic SE, Groove Agent One, Korg Legacy Digital M1 and TAL-U-No-62 VST instruments and a Roland XP-50 for the sounds along with some guitar and shaker. The theme was composed by Arthur Blake. This version was created by Oliver Sacker.

Wow if the show was still on today this would be the theme

[@christopherdrennan5819]

Definitely.

[@Hulk2k6]

It was till the end. It was the longest last thing theme, 1990-2003.

[@OfficalGamingFFC]

Used to love this show

[@mrb3097]

Absolutely note and style perfect. Fantastic recreation. Thanks again.

[@OliverSacker]

Thanks for listening and commenting.

[@icespittingfire]

eerily good

[@OliverSacker]

That's very kind, thanks.

Sounds great brings back childhood memories

[@OliverSacker]

Thank you!

[@matthewbull7]

You’re welcome Oliver !

[@nickgodfrey1973]

I'd say in usual fashion... You've nailed it again! :D

[@OliverSacker]

Thanks!

If you skipped School, were suspended or sick, this theme song was a part of your day depending on ITV region!

[@christopherdrennan5819]

Was this on the Granada region?

[@Hulk2k6]

@@christopherdrennan5819 Yes but me being a Londoner, I was tuned to Thames/Carlton. Granada threw in the towel around 1998. As did many others Outside of STV, Border and UTV who completed the series.

[@80srenaissance67]

It actually made you sick hearing this...

[@Hulk2k6]

@@80srenaissance67 LOL. Nah, 1990 was the best version. Better than the Silly Wizard Synth version (1980-82), The depressing Oboe theme (1982-1986) and the Wannabe American Glamour soap version (1986-1990)

[@AmiDonnelly]

@@Hulk2k6I agree. This version is 100 times better. Every Friday, Sunday or Tuesday night after we took our dogs out for their walk this would be the first thing I would see when we first walked in the door. Gosh I do miss the 90s

[@christopherdrennan5819]

Bring back High Road!

[@bdwyahoo]

It is on the STV PLAYER.

[@scottishwildcat]

Bring back Mrs Mack!

[@televisionarchives1184]

Love it thanks for this.

[@OliverSacker]

Thank you!

[@AmiDonnelly]

Very good. If you can do Taggart that would be great

[@OliverSacker]

Thanks. Taggart is in progress.

[@AmiDonnelly]

@@OliverSacker yay!!!!

[@BLTKellys]

This is incredible! Please do the Family Affairs theme tune as well, specifically the 1999 version.

[@OliverSacker]

Thank you! I did the 1997 Family Affairs theme: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKTbiaZuaLikrKcfeature=shared

[@BLTKellys]

@@OliverSacker thank you!! Would love your version of the 99 theme as well because I think it’s quite similar to Take the High Road.

[@KaraokeLondon]

Nice one Oliver. :)

[@OliverSacker]

Thanks!

[@MePeterNicholls]

Just needs a touch more reverb and damn fine

[@OliverSacker]

Thanks! More reverb on the guitar lead line?

[@tracyyy99]

Bloody great stuff...really...so so good....how about crossroads.

[@OliverSacker]

Thanks for commenting.

[@spikeyroberto]

Could you do Going For Gold full version?

[@OliverSacker]

Thanks for the suggestion.

[@mrb3097]

Hi Oliver, any chance of Channel Four's Fifteen-to-One theme please?

[@OliverSacker]

Thanks for the suggestion. I'd like to do that one but haven't yet been able to find a clean source to work from.
