Help identifying Sky Movies/Sky Sports tracks - Frank Gari?

[Dinsdale]

Hi all

Originally posted this in requests, but I realise I probably need to know the names of the tracks I'm requesting first - so hopefully someone can help. This is a 30 year search, off and on. Hopefully, I can put it to bed.

I have been planning to post on a library forum for a while to help me track down a search for 3 themes used on Sky's UK television networks - 2 of which I'm fairly confident are from the Frank Gari collection. I have been looking for these themes for 30 years, and have done my best to trawl through the Internet with limited success.

I'm hoping someone can give me information on these themes, or point me in the direction of how I can acquire them.

Sky Movies (1989 - 1993)
This theme was used on Sky Movies/Sky Movies Plus. I have found with ease the 1993 - 1995 themes that Frank Gari did for Sky that superseded this theme, but the 1989 - 1993 collection is more difficult to track down. I do have some other channel themes from this period, but not full sets with the different lengths/bumpers etc.. but I have absolutely nothing when it comes to this "Sky Movies" theme.

Sky Sports (1991 - 1993)
This theme was used on Sky Sports for their idents - I am not sure if a longer version exists or it was part of a wider set. This one seems impossible to find. I know there were two versions of the ident theme.

WWF UK Rampage (1991 - 1992)
This theme is an odd one. I'm not sure if this is a Frank Gari theme, or a theme the WWF composed themselves. There's an argument it is not a WWF theme, as the (now) WWE dub this music on new releases of this show, indicating it isn't theirs. Plus, a sped up version of this music was used by Sky One for a TJ Hooker spot. Conversely, I did speak to someone who used to work for Sky, and he said that Sky back then was a bit "wild west" and he wouldn't be surprised if they simply reused a WWF theme for other purposes. Still, we have no solid answers

Really got my fingers crossed!
Thanks

This is similar to the sports music, taken from Great News "Rat Race" transfer.it/t/uaP3ATsgHZiR

Again, similar to Sky Movies promo "Team Spirit" transfer.it/t/HQl7pClFkCLR

There's a thread on FB that mentions the Sky package facebook.com/groups/skypres/posts/26917302811270584/

News and sport music is a minefield as there's so much that's been produced.
