[oliverecords]

I got my 45 right beside me, I intended to upload it, but it's no use now. I see there's at least three different posts of it here... Checking is never useless.

Thanks for the video, now I have to elect my own Miss TOTP.

Holy album covers Batman!

Heresy maybe, but this just maybe one of those tunes that might surpass the original...Just a thought. Peace.

As a Jethro Tull fan i can say 100%, that this is Harold McNair of CCS playing the flute and not Ian Anderson.

these albums provided us with much enjoyment in our teens even when our record player was bust (album cover)!!!!!

[SuperXavier30]

@mrralvintwerp ,.Spot on! A nice accompaniment to the mail order catalogue of the day!

[marmite400]

Sometimes, this was the best tune on the show!

[SuperXavier30]

@marmite400 ,.Sad, but true! Over 40 years later, & the tune still Rocks like it was made yesterday!

alexis korner was a very underrated singer, he ended his days doing voice overs for tv programmes mostly BBC

[SuperXavier30]

@hants68....and why not, as he possessed a great voice!

[jonnyb69able]

your welcome. id like to think it was him being very popular at that time.

[jonnyb69able]

very good cover, remember it well, can anybody tell me if thats ian anderson on the flute?.

[SuperXavier30]

@jonnyb69able ,Always knew him as an incredible front man, but had no idea of his name!. Not able to answer your question, but now know Jethro Tull's Flutist!. Cheers!

Wikipedia: CCS are best known for their instrumental version of Led Zeppelin's 1969 track "Whole Lotta Love", which got into in the UK Singles Chart in 1970, and was used as the theme music for the BBC pop programme Top of the Pops for most of the 1970s, and, in a remixed version, between 1997 and 2003. . .

[01sapphireGTS]

This sounds to me like Jethro Tull collaborated with Chicago and they covered a Led Zeppelin tune.

Pretty cool effort by CCS, and that intoxicating/driving guitar riff is great. I'm sure being covered by Robert & Jimmy was never on the mind of CCS when they made this. . .

[SuperXavier30]

@01sapphireGTS,Appreciate you taking time to add a little info and opinion on this timeless masterpiece.

[01sapphireGTS]

At first (after seeing this subject mentioned in other posts), I thought Page lifted this riff from CCS, but after digging deeper and referring to Wikipedia it was the other way around. CCS did a remake/remix of the classic Zeppelin tune.

Well done to all parties involved.

It was fun looking at all of the TOTP album covers. Fun Post.

By far the best totp theme tune.
