'THE SWEENEY' Library Music Cues: "Collect the Set!"

[Retronic]

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/

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.

Wich one Retro? Maybe the LMT community can help with the flac version?

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

[Greta]

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).

   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.

Do all versions of the closing theme by Harry South have the beginning with part of the programme sound?

I suppose it can be easily edited out using Audacity but just wondered if the closing theme appears on any particular library album apart from Shut It?

[Retronic]

There is a 7" single from 1975, which has opening and closing themes on each side.

Be interesting if the start of the closing theme has the first 3 seconds edited out?
