VA - Top Dog - A Retrospective Of Classic TV & Radio Themes 1960 - 1982 (2010)

This is the fourth album in the De Wolfe "commercial" series, collecting many well-loved British TV and radio theme tunes specially remastered from the original tapes. The album's content spans the complete spectrum of vintage broadcasting. From cult comedy sitcoms such as "Man About The House" and "Never The Twain" to kid's favorites like "Vision On" and "Roobarb," to oddball obscurities like "Angling Today" and "Queenie's Castle," this is the first time that these 5 lost incidental themes have been collected together on one volume. Also included are some exclusive unreleased cues that have never seen the light of day before ("Henry's Cat"/"Delia Smith's Cookery Course," etc).
