Scotch Broth (BBC2 1969-1972)

Just before the introduction of High Life on BBC2, here is a tape which first made an appearance on the channel in September 1969 as a replacement for Pizzi-Pizzi, which had already been in service since November 1965 and contained the track Fings Ain't What They Used To Be amongst others. Enjoy!!!!

Wasn't "Scotch Broth" from around the time Scotland beat England and Celtic won the European Cup ('67?) Wonder if they wrote it as a theme song for that?

Thanks for that. Fings aint What They Used To Be debuted on Big Band Width TCC2 and what a belter that one is. Two close freinds got married recently and I prepared the CDs for the wedding breakfast from library music, in particular Pierre Porte, and other early CH4 and 1970's BBC trade music with others thrown in. All concerned loved it as quality music!!. If they knew the source they would have been mortified!!. Just goes to say never judge a book by its cover.

@officedragon100 Actually, I know that one of the songs is available on Amazon. Search mp3's for the KPM 1000 series.

Another winner. I remember all the tracks, the first being my favourite though, with that great saxaphone piece. Many thanks again for the great memories.
