Notes
  • The recording sessions for this collection took place at Pye Studios, London, in January 1974.

  • More than half of the themes on this collection were Tony Hatch compositions: Hadleigh, Best in Football, Serenade of Love, The Champions, Crossroads, Emmerdale Farm, Man Alive, Memories of Summer and Sportsnight.

  • This collection was simultaneously released on audio cassette (ZCP 41029), 8-track cartridge (Y8P 41029) and vinyl LP (NSPL 41029).

  • The 8-track cartridge had a single change to the track ordering compared to the alternative formats, with The Champions moving to fourth on Track 1. On audio cassette and vinyl it was placed eighth.

  • 'Eye Level', the theme to the Thames series Van Der Valk, was incorrectly credited to "Tromhey". This was a typesetting error and should have read "Trombey" (Jack).

  • A 4-channel quadrophonic version of this album was released on vinyl in Australia (Astor Records, QUAD 1025).
