Ah, I remember them all so well. I always chuckle when I hear the unmusical edit on the bass guitar intro on Sunflower: yes folks there's an extra quaver there, the one the man with the razor blade didn't spot!

It was far better than all those boring programmes thst now dominate the schedules on BBC1, BBC2 and Channel 4. Bring back the days of one daytime programme on BBC2, only a few daytime programmes at lnchtime on BBC1, and Countdowm being the first programme of the day on channel 4 at 4.45pm. The Mid-day News and Pebble Mill at One. Who remembers those?

@@dvidclapperton or ITV or Channel 5 either I guess? Still there is indeed BBC Three or BBC Four who of course don't open/start until 7.00pm each day. The odd thing is, they just show a silent caption card all the time they are off air-but no music though. I wonder why not though?

Moscow Nights - I recall hearing on intervsl signal on Radio Moscow World Service on AM radio. Not this version though. Beat In Minor also was on the Summer Sunny Holiday Tape (BBC1 1982 to 1984). Not that we knew the names of the trscks or any of the tape titles at the time. There doesn't need to be anybody singing for it to be good music.

Just a slight correction on the tape dates, El Camino was 1977-79, and The Trolley Song was 1978-83 (with a 5-month break in 1982!!). Great compilation nevertheless!!

Did all those tracks accompany the Philips PM-5544 on opt-out tapes on BBC2? Sunflower did anyway.

Probably not, but this is just a roughly chronological compilation rather than a facsimile reconstruction of a particular braodcast tape. The image is there purely as a decorative icon; the music is the thing. But it's such a beautiful image -almost Mondrian-like abstarct art - and is a useful graphic to set this sequence apart from my other two compilations spanning roughly the same period.

@@ricadus All the test card images of old are really works of art somehow. Test Card F of course which is iconic, but Test Card G-the one here also known as the Phillips PM5544-the old IBA ETP1 Test Card which had rare showings on ITV but of course was mostly known as the IBA CH4 on Channel 4 or IBA S4C in Wales. Test Card F with either BBC1 overlay or of course the BBC2 COLOUR versions at the time. Also you could say that Pages from Ceefax was too. All so much missed I can tell you from today's telly for sure!!

Of course also, in around May 1984 the Test Card F on BBC1 and BBC2 was updated to a digital version; and the old optical analogue one was ended, in October of that year as far as I know. Thank you anyway!!

I like to work to TCF music. Is this selection taken form the original tapes? I can't find La Luce - The Ad Hoc Group anywhere else. Thanks.

That was a name of convenience often used by compilers where the actual artist couldn’t be traced at the time. It’s actually composed by Nicola Piovani was also used for an obscure Italian film in the early 1970s. www.discogs.com/master/763715-Nicola-Piovani-Daniele-E-Maria-Colonna-Sonora-Originale-Del-Film
