5.0 out of 5 stars Shut it and open your lugholes!, 21 Oct 2002
You don't need to be a fan of The Sweeney to enjoy this CD - just a fan of big fat 70's funk. Memories of conker fights, the school fatty and Texan bars are bought back with the opening Thames TV theme and The Sweeney's unmistakeable title music.

You are then taken into a world of funky beats, sleazy organ sounds and wah-wah guitars - all interwoven with classic lines delivered by Thaw and Waterman with wonderful gutteral cockney aplomb.

"Look slag, I don't give a toss who you have in you bed", "Somebody put something in my drink last night.........alcohol", and the unsurprising, "Shut it!" are among the gems.

All in all - it's a classic. Best listened to while driving through an urban wasteland after dark in a battered old Ford Cortina wearing an extra-wide tie for extra authenticity.

Belter.

4.0 out of 5 stars We're the Sweeney. And we haven't had any dinner, 13 Feb 2007
Excellent, atmospheric stuff from the days when kipper ties and flared trousers were the peak of sophistication. Play this CD and you can almost smell the Blue Nun and Berni Inns' Chicken in a Basket. These were the days when men were men, birds were birds and we all wanted a Ford Granada. The music here is a fantastic timepiece, funky, jazzy and just so, so 1970s. A great accompaniment to the finest cop show of its day.

A word of caution - the tracks that purport to be the Main Opening and Closing themes are NOT the original arrangements from the programme itself, despite the sticker on the front saying that they are, hence only the 4 star rating. The dialogue that punctuates the tracks more than makes up for this, however, and this collection should be a worthy addition to the CD collection of anyone who wants to close their eyes and relive those days again.

Lovely stuff.
