Somewhere deep in my small but different Vinyl record collection, I have a couple of 7″ singles of some of his TV music, circa 1980?

One is an ITV football thing, and another a piece that BBC Scotland used as the intro/outro music for their tea-time news programme.

I bought them on the strength of having the WOTW double album and a couple of the singles.

Missed out on the limited edition 12″ disco re-mix of the WOTW overture – should have bagged it at Woolies the one weekend
that they had it!

This?

Thanks Jonno!

I have the South American River download version, but its MP3 and sounds rubbish quality!
Have the Antwerp bootleg video running as I type now.

Had the pleasure of us seeing the live show at Glasgow several years ago when it was
still Justin Hayward, hero of my teenage years when I discovered the music of the (proper)
Moody Blues albums. Superb :^)

As for live shows, would really like to see Trans Siberian Orchestra Christmas Tour
should they ever pass this way!

ITV World Cup 82 “Matador”

I actually have this on 7 inch

You can hear the influences of TV-am and War of the Worlds

I always prefered it to Aztec Gold which ITV used for the 86 world Cup and then for a lot of thier big games / football coverage.

Matador – That’s indeed it!

The Jeff Wayne LBC stuff – I’ve only ever heard bits of the package and in poor quality.

Has a good full version ever made it out, or do we know if TC and Neil at MPF have anything possibly
bubbling under from that?

The LBC Master reels / DATs were loving looked after for many years.
They are safe and in good hands. (not Mine) And the whole collection is held together.
I have a picture of them on my phone!
