Reviews3 stars out of 5 - "...This is a purgatory of forgotten fool's gold which slipped through the cracks, and it's cracking...", 3 stars out of 5 - "...An imaginatively compiled set which scores by rooting through some of the less familiar musical iconography of the early '70s..."
This is pure nostalgia for people of a certain age. I got this primarily for the theme tunes for "Magpie" and "Ace of Wands" but there's also some delightful easy listening pieces contained here, as well as some obscure little ad break pieces I don't actually remember hearing back in the day.
I would highly recommend this collection.
If this your bag its a great addition to any like collection with several tracks not generally found on other compilations.Well produced and with informative sleeve notes.
