Limited 3 cd set. Since the early days of television, programme-makers have used music to enhance their visuals but few did it as well as The Goodies. So intrinsic is the show s music that it is impossible to imagine its absence. And yet, due to the production policies of the time, the source recordings were disposed of once the show itself was completed. Most of these reel-to-reel audio tapes were recycled for other productions, but five original session tapes have survived and are presented here as a unique artefact of the recording process used on this world-famous comedy series. Written by Bill Oddie in partnership with Michael Gibbs and Dave MacRae, the series specially-composed music was eclectic in scope and covered a wide range of styles and formats (including jingles and fake adverts). The sessions on this set feature some fan favourites Dumb Animals, Berserk, Working the Line, Bonecrusher.
