As one of many,who grew up watching the tv western,THE VIRGINIAN,i remembered being mortified,when the show ended,and over the moon to hear years later it was going to return to our screens,then again i was left feeling let down,that when it returned,it would have a new title and new cast,omg,nomore JAMES DRURY,but i was not only happy to see he was still in the show,but now it had a great new title,THE MEN FROM SHILOH,and hold on,where had percy faith`s theme tune gone,it had now been replaced with one of the coolist theme tunes,composed and played by,spaghetti western composer ENNIO MORRICONE,i was hooked,but for the life of me,i could never remember the tune,to whistle the next day,no matter how much i practiced,then the show was gone forever,and for years i searched high and low,for that tune,and just when i thought i would never hear it again,there i was,at 46 years old,searching an old record shop,and i found it,i turn 55 in april,and i still have that record,and when i play it,im back on that sofa with my gran,munching my crisps and watching the opening credits to THE MEN FROM SHILOH,well done again mr morricone,you made a little boy who grew up,very happy

That's part of it's charm......it evokes happy memories.

I've collected Morricone since 1977 and have never heard of (or knew anyone that had) a 45 from THE MEN FROM SHILOH.
