TV Favourites- Happy House Records/Damont Records- UK - 1975
I got this for 20p at a charity shop thinking it would be fun to have all these kid's show theme tunes. It turned out that it wasn't the actual tv versions of the songs, it's one of those shoddy cover singers albums that were everywhere in the 60s and 70s. And this is a particularly craptastic example.
The versions of the Rupert, Wombles and Magic Roundabout theme songs sound pretty much like the real thing, but the Dr Who and Pink Panther ones are just bizarre. The first time I listened to it, I fell on the floor in hysterical laughter. My housemate came in to see what the fuss was about and ended up in hysterics himself. Someone tried to play the Dr Who and Pink Panther music on a cheap synth (and in the case of Dr Who, on a slide whistle).
