Title: 'THE SWEENEY' Library Music Cues: "Collect the Set!"
Post by: Retronic on April 07, 2020, 04:07:43 PM

I'm half way through this endeavour, with the music from the first two series already posted up:
https://retroteque.wordpress.com/category/the-sweeney/ (https://retroteque.wordpress.com/category/the-sweeney/)
(https://i.postimg.cc/J0sm7XTm/THE-SWEENEY.png)(https://i.postimg.cc/9M3Nw7FC/THE-SWEENEY-2.png)(https://i.postimg.cc/nrfzW0Fg/THE-SWEENEY-3.png)(https://i.postimg.cc/Ss6V2QKP/THE-SWEENEY-4.png)(https://i.postimg.cc/zfs8D7Lj/THE-SWEENEY-5.png)
So far it is 147 tracks across five volumes
Even if you don't like 'The Sweeney', a 1975-1978 UK cop show if you didn't know the five individual posts all include snapshots of the LPs for a retro contextual vibe.  I have to day I really enjoyed pulling them off the shelves and holding them again- some after many years of being unloved, neglected since their FLAC-friends distracted me with their shiny modern ways.
This show heavily used UK libraries; initially very KPM and De Wolfe heavy with smatterings of Chappell and Themes with a splosh of Selected Sound and what-not.
The latter episodes (not got to those yet) bought lots of Bruton in to the mix.... *dusts off Drama Montage*...
Anyway- get your trousers and yer headphones on!

I’ve been eating, sleeping & breathing The Sweeney for days!! Hope you like them :-) You guys will have pretty much every track anyway but Ive always wanted to sort them out properly and have in one place.

BTW one track is a fake FLAC, converted from a 320 mp3.  It just makes it look better and most people won’t care about one track.

I think I did ask in the request section.  It’s Patchwork Orchestra 3, with Dramatic Minutes and Norfolk Fog.

Oh, I see.
It's Disques Magellan 526054 and also Sylvester 538.
Unfortunately I have both of them in mp3 only.
Let's hope someone can help to complete your project.

My patchworks are.. patchy.  :)

This is making me feel like going out to buy some tights and a parka. What a superb collection so far Retronic - thank you (you slag).

 ;D  Same here. I’m looking forward to having a drive around with these blasting on my stereo but I always end up speeding to ‘Heavy Lead’.   Series 3 coming tomorrow.  ;)
