1.0 out of 5 stars Avengers should be avenged!, 1 Dec 2005

By	J. Grant "Marigold" (North Avoca, NSW Australia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Big disappointment. Much loved TV themes 'reworked' into jarring, dissonant, clumsy, sometimes barely recognizable formats. Guys, ever heard of 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it'? People don't buy 'memories' to find some smartarse has updated them to his own taste, they want to hear the original because that's what gave them the fun in the first place. Worst is the Eagles absolutely vile 'interpretation' of the Maigret Theme, and as for Carlos' Theme from The Sentimental Agent....words fail me (fortunately for you). Instead of reworking all this stuff, why didn't the record company just stick to the originals? Total waste of money, folks. Don't buy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sixty Sixties Smashes, 17 Mar 2006

By	Fergus Fingall (London) - See all my reviews

Released in 1998 to capitalise on the ( non-existent ) success of 'The Avengers' movie, this double C.D. holds a staggering sixty tracks. Some like 'The Avengers', 'Man In A Suitcase' and 'Thunderbirds' are the originals while others are selected cover versions.

Cyril Stapleton holds the record for covering more T.V. music than anybody else, his 'Department S' is awesome while his 'Saint' is feeble. Ron Grainer's 'Dr.Who' gets exterminated by Eric Winstone's wailing Orchestra ( why wasn't Adam Adamant Lives used instead? ) but 'Steptoe & Son' is great.

Particularly pleasing to hear themes from programmes long vanished into the mists of time; 'Z-Cars' and 'The Champions' are fondly remembered but who recalls 'Top Secret' and 'The Sentimental Agent'? Not this reviewer. Charlie Drake puts the poignant 'Who Is Sylvia?' over well, the 'Hancock' theme hails from his unsuccessful 1963 A.T.V. show while Mike Vickers' 'No-That's Me Over Here' alone justifies the price of the album. Special mention for Pentangle's beautiful 'Night-Flight' ( the theme to 'Take Three Girls' ) and Roy Budd's 'Mr.Rose'. As for Laurie Johnson's 'Whicker's World', well, it put me in mind of THAT Monty Python sketch.

If you thought that ALL Sixties telly was spy stuff and Gerry and Sylvia's puppets, this collection will make you think again. Its nicely complemented by a sleeve showcasing '60's telly memorabilia, with informative notes by Michael Richardson. Pure joy!
