I have been looking for this on YT for ages. I swear hearing the opening tune brought tears to my eyes. I absolutely loved storyteller and used to listen to them before bed. This really brings back memories, thanks so much for this...not sure where i put them all but will look now.
It's funny can't imagine trying to entertain kids these day by getting them to read and listen to stories in their leisure time....LOL.
the storyteller book wouldnt cost £1.95 now a days it would be more like £2.99 the first copy then go up to about £6.99 I still have the books but some of the tapes have seen better days im going to fine my tapes out and put them on my computer now ive found out how to do it.
I think my parents still have most of these. I am going to get them next time I visit. I turn 30 this year and just hearing that theme song totally transports me. I used to know Shortie The Satellite by heart, not to mention The Scrubs and the Dubs, Groger the Golden Ogre, The Goblin Rat, Gobbolino, etc... The list goes on. "Woe betide ye Molly Woppy!!!" Christ - it's all coming back to me. Thanks so much for posting this. It means A LOT!

Oh, man, I could cry listening to that tune. I remember those so vividly. I still have a couple of tapes. I wish those things were re-released.
I remember a Gobolino rhyme: "I'll send her down, the Mary Maude, and all of those on her aboard. And not a single soul can tell the way to break a witch's spell." Or soemthing to that effect. I still know the tune. The answer was "You must jump on her shadow and shout FIDDLESTICKS!" lol
i need some help my favorite story was in volume 2 part 9 and it was about space robots but i cant for the life of me remember what it was called can anyone help me? :)))

I listed to these tapes for about 15 years going rup until they were all lost or broken. I just managed to find didital copies online and have placed my order ;-)
Wonderful stuff! I've still got some story Tellers in the loft, one of these days I'll get round to converting them all to MP3. BTW I have a 1:23 version of this jingle (basically the same as this but a little longer) if anybody wants it I'll upload it to YouTube.
@Soopytwist I've just bought the 8th tape of this from a charity shop (a fab 10p) purely for the jingle..... if you can let me have the longer version I'd be very grateful!
@leatherpuppy78 Actually I found the full version, can't remember where I got it though. Try Googling Sonoton Music Library as mentioned below and it's by Ted Atking and Alain Freanch. I played it and recorded it using Goldwave then saved it as an MP3.
@Soopytwist should have read the entire post I guess! I have now found the full 2:39 version and it sounds great (although it doesn't have the warmth of my 28yr old 10 pence tape! LOL)
0:26 loved the narrators voice on the lion story (was it Rory?) and I loved 0:02 too. I had the binders, all complete and Mum sold them at a bootsale.
Yes, I was raised with bread and "racconta storie". I still love those stories. Only recently I realized that it wasn't an italian edition, the original one is english. When I was a child I was excited waiting for my brother coming home from school with my brand new book + cassette... I was so impatient that I searched his bag everytime!! lol :)
Truly magical memories from my childhood.. i have the complete 1st set and now my kids use and love them just as much - unfortunately due to age the tapes are wearing and some not working so it would be good if they did do a reissue.. on disc maybe?
Life was easier back then. All kids wanna do these days is play computers and watch TV. Bring it back, then all these fat little shits might actually learn a few things, like values for a start... ok rant over. Storytellers great.
@sbubble7819 hahahaha.....that cracked me right up! It's so, so true. Wouldn'tve dreamt of carrying on like the kids do these days, I'd be in my bedroom before Blue Peter! I'm in my early 30's and still have my treasured collection. I missed the last 3 parts as my Mum couldn't afford them, 15yrs later I found the tapes in the charity shop but they came in with no books. 3 years later I found the books in the very same charity shop. One of the most life-defining moments for me!
@ladyrider260 Nice one...Your very lucky to have found them. Charity shops are great for finding little gems like these though. Mine are still in my parents loft somewhere hidden amongst all the crap you get in a family loft. Probably somewhere between my old castle greyskull and starwars toys...lol. That loft has some serious shit in it. A proper Alladins cave.
What? I never knew Gobbolino had more parts to it. I always just assumed that after the hobgoblin got him kicked out of the farmhouse he just went around being rejected by everyone he came across. I always thought the moral to the whole story was that if you don't fit in you never will. My cynicism started with this maxim. You mean to tell me I've been wrong all these years?
Gobbolino had four parts in Story Teller 1. A sequel appeared in Story Teller 2 (with five parts). Gobbolino also appeared in two of the three Christmas Story Teller editions.
Get this set re-released, email Marshall Cavendish UK now! If they get enough interest, they will do it! Has already been re-released in Greece & Italy in 2008!!! :-)
