That's funny Simon, because in the Hammer book Larson says that Vickers provided "... a grating, pop-jazz score which was awkward, dramatically out of place, distracting in the fight scenes, and overall sounding more like annoying TV cop-show muzak." Mind you, if I was paid to write liner notes for an album, I wouldn't say how terrible the score is either!
You cheated! That's exactly the same as the original! Where's your twist on it man?
Unlike most of my covers I tried to replicate this one exactly. I wanted a better quality recording than the VHS rip I sourced.
I only 'cheated' on the opening synth sound (I sampled and looped it so I could extend it into the guitar part). The guitars and percussion I recreated.
Does anybody know what is the name of the jazzy song that plays in Charlie Boy episode? I know David Lindup was credited for the music, but I don't know if it's library music or an original composition. Can somebody help me out?
