Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Theme tune compilations have historically set themselves the difficult task of being based around a particular subject or genre. Not this four-disc set however. It's a simple alphabetical arrangement of the 200 chosen titles. You'll start with The A-Team and finish with The X-Files. In between is a heavy leaning toward American shows. Despite no sectional groupings, you'll find Westerns (Bonanza, The High Chaparral, Wild Wild West), sci-fi (Battlestar Galactica, Buck Rogers, Star Trek), crime drama (Murder She Wrote, NYPD Blue, Hill Street Blues) and sitcoms (Cheers, Roseanne, Taxi). UK favourites include The Bill, The Prisoner, Red Dwarf and Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. It ought to be pointed out that although re-recordings, these are from the Silva Screen label's (now rather huge) catalogue and therefore of superior quality. You'll be amazed by how many you know just from a few notes. With that in mind, this is the ideal trivia quiz accompaniment!--Paul Tonks

1.0 out of 5 stars Check before you buy, 22 Oct 2003
By K. Higgins (Warrington, Cheshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have only given this album one star, simply because it is a cover version not the original.There can be no comprimise, only the original will do.How can anyone substitute the original spoken word in various TV themes, that particular voice from the past that lingers in your memory.Albums like this are okay I suppose for people who are too young to have those memories, but for those of us who do, it is a dissapointment.Check the small print before you buy.I will from now on.

5.0 out of 5 stars Its going in the bin, 23 April 2002
A complete waste of money - these are NOT the real theme tunes as heard on TV, they are covers. They are close to the originals but they are just slightly off, which makes them really really bad.

Painful to listen to, a complete let-down. Its going in the bin.

3.0 out of 5 stars why can you never get the origanals, 25 Oct 2002
By T. D. Rumble (U.k) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
this is not the album tv theme fans want.
for one thing some songs such as little house on the prarie arent any good hold no cult value and who would play in in the car.
I think theyve just thrown any old tune together
the knight rider tune is rubbish after half way threw you wouldn't recognize it.
this is a good album for the money but they left out so many more good tunes like street hawk and knight rider 2000

Thought this was the original recordings of our favourite tv shows but alas... no. Orchestral versions are not the same so give this a miss and find the original recordings.

Even though these are not the original television themes, the songs are still done really well. It is kind of refreshing to hear songs you know well done differently. Read more
