this was meant to be theme for the tales of the unexpected, was a huge tune at Wigan for a short period of time before it was released on Casino Classics.
Any chance of uploading the previously mentioned "leisurely and melancholy" version. I think it demonstrates just what a atmospheric and moving tune this originally was.
@tobalwin I wish I could help you out. It is on a deleted CD called "The A To Z of British TV Themes - The Ron Grainer Years" and I could spend the rest of my life kicking my own backside for selling my copy.
Ah excellent, made me smile just hearing this, listened to this as a teenager with my scooter going all over the UK to all nighters, brought back some good thoughts, thanks for posting a real classic!
What a discovery! I had previously only heard this as a leisurely and melancholy 1930's dance arrangement from the soundtrack of "Edward and Mrs Simpson". Grainer was not only a great composer but no fool either and he did a number of disco re-treads of his work. I am no great fan of the disco genre but this had me doing a few sad, middle-aged moves round the living room (don't tell anybody).
its like a sped up version of the mood mosiacs - a touch of velvet a sting of brass
