The Persuaders -- John Barry It somehow manages to sound stately and modern at the same time, which personifies the two characters. John Leach played cymbalom and kantele and Barry added synthesizers. Jeeves and Wooster -- Anne Dudley Fully-formed witty trad jazzy piece with violin and muted trumpets featured.

Hi Folks I am not usually a fan of cover versions but an exception to this rule is: 4 America vol Two. The recordings include superb versions of: Land of The Giants, Mork and Mindy, The Munsters, Hogan's Heroes, Johnny Stacatto and last but not least Jerry Goldsmith's theme from the Waltons. Which is on the album twice! These are all conducted by Daniel Caine. To recommend it even further the release was supervised by James Fitzpatrick. Take care and stay well! CC

I could be wrong, but the one CD I have from the "Television's Greatest Hits" (Volume 5 - "In Living Color" - TVT Records) appears to be ALL original soundtrack recordings. I'll never be sure, simply because I'll never listen to most of the first half again ("Wacky Races", Hong Kong Phooey", "Superchicken"...), but the ones I love, for example JUDD FOR THE DEFENSE, THE BIONIC WOMAN, KOLCHAK: THE NIGHT STALKER etc) sound original to me. ///EDITED A BIT LATER/// Attention Charlie Chan! Attention Charlie Chan! (The member here, not the real-life detective) - Wasn't that "Daniel Caine" person really the late Derek (SPACE:1999) Wadsworth?

Growing up in the UK we had something of a tradition of tv themes released as single records. For these releases they would usually be the original soundtrack type in that they were the original artists and everything, but they would always have a middle section that made it a full track/tune. And in this way were eligible to enter the pop charts, which happened on occasion. In the early 70s, Eye Level, which was the theme to the UK's Netherlands set detective series Van der Valk was a massive hit. It made no 1 for four weeks with 20 weeks in the top 50. Many UK tv themes were released this way. The great John Barry's The Persuaders and most of the Classic Series Doctor Who theme arrangements, various Gerry Anderson series, the list goes on. How much was this done in the States? I rarely see full recordings of the themes for the American shows included on soundtrack releases. In the 80s we had two releases of BBC Space Themes released, and when it came to Star Trek (always shown on BBC) it had to be a cover. A different one on each release. What gives?
