Andrew Bown's Tarot
2004-05-20 by eyeshouldcocoa
Hello all - While sorting through some ancient emails today I stumbled across a posting on here from yonks ago, about the track 'Tarot' by Andrew Bown (the theme from early 70s UK TV series 'Ace of Wands') - notable for the appearance of our beloved 3 violins bubbling away in the background. (I suspect it was probably a MkII as the theme was originally released as a single in mid-1970, I'm not sure if the then- new M400 was in circulation/appearing on any recordings just yet at that point)... Anyway, at the time of that posting I don't think it was available anywhere other than on a very rough-sounding download. But I recently found out, for those of us who go *yippee!!* at such things (including yours truly), there's a CD available which was released last year, called "Magpie: 20 Junkshop Pop Ads and Themes", which features said track (along with other retro stuff from the early 70s, ranging between the brilliant, the twee, the nostalgic and the utterly bizarre (tracks from actor Peter Wyngarde's solo album, anyone?)). More about it here - http://www.cherryred.co.uk/rpm/rpm/variousmagpie.htm Very nice to hear Tarot in a much more listenable state again after all these years! Regards, Tony Swettenham M400S #581
