Notes

A collection comprising a mix of film and television themes and orchestrations of pop and Easy Listening staples of the time.
This collection was issued simultaneously in limited editions of 250,000 per format on vinyl LP record (PLE 7017) and audio cassette (PLC 7017). Both were part of Pickwick's Limited Edition series. The size of each limited run serves as an illustration of the popularity of vinyl records and audio cassettes in the 1970s.
Regarding our dating of this release, neither Discogs or 45worlds gives a release year for Beautiful Music: 20 Popular Favourites. However, the latter states 1978 as the year of release for LPs with neighbouring catalogue numbers, suggesting that this was also the year of release for Beautiful Music on LP and cassette.

Notes

Reissue of two Harry Stoneham hammond organ albums – Solid Gold Hammond (TWO 345, 1971; forming sides A and B), combined with High Power Hammond (TWO 326, 1970; forming sides C and D) – to produce a double vinyl LP and double audio cassette. These were issued simultaneously in 1980.
The original September 1971 LP and audio cassette of Solid Gold Hammond included no ITC tracks and we therefore do not list this title at Randall and Hopkirk (Declassified). However, the cassette cover is so Seventies we could hardly resist...

Track A7, Norrie Paramor's Theme from A Summer Place was featured as the B-side to the 7" vinyl single release of Edwin Astley's Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased) theme, where it was mistakenly noted as "Summer Palace". The tune was written by Paramor for the 1959 feature film A Summer Place.
This audio cassette omitted the last four tracks that had been included on the corresponding CD version, namely Magic Carpet by The Dakotas, The Mexican by The Fentones, Big Man by The Packabeats and Tomorrow's Cancelled by The Shadows.

Notes

Surfin' Lightbulb Spectacular (Refrigerated Banana Tapes, 1995) was a self-published demo tape which took the form of an album recorded live without overdubs on Saturday 8 April 1995. The cassettes issued were themselves unbranded and hand-labelled in gold pen.
There is of course, considering the band's obvious interest in ITC, the possibility that their chosen name - The Interceptors - was inspired by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's UFO.
Band credits were given on the cassette inlay sheet without surnames: Colin (lead guitar, theremin), Clive (rhythm guitar), Jude (bass guitar) and Grant (drums). It can be gleaned from their 1996 appearance on BOA Presents The Superior Surf Sounds if The Beat Poets and The Interceptors (BOA Records, HISS 7) - a 7" vinyl EP - that the performers were Colin Swift, JuJu (Jude) Dolores and Grant Jones. By that stage, rhythm guitarist Clive appears to have left the band.
Surfin' Lightbulb Spectacular was engineered by Pete Dale.

Notes

As with previous releases in this range, Themes from the 60's Volume Three showcased the talents of up-and-coming British indie bands.
All tracks produced by Russell Writer.
This collection was also released on vinyl (FLEG.5) and CD (FLEG.5CD).
The release of this cassette edition is not 100% confirmed as we have only seen what appears to be a design proof which has the word "ALTER" splashed across the cover in biro. This was presumably an instruction to the designer, maybe to present the cover design in the correct ratio and not squish it! This proof copy is complete with a cassette that is labelled as expected.

A very enjoyable easy listening collection brought together in a fun, well-designed package - it just needed more ITC!
