Note the spelling mistake on 'Predator'- the same mistake appears on the label, so I kept it as 'Preditor'.  Bloody YTS scheme.

Alternate cover:

BRJ 9 - Web of Intrigue/ Investigator.
Almost every track of this LP was used in Prisoner Cell Block H; initially dotted around and then used extensively in the late 300's.
I can remember picking this up in Manchester when I was there for a conference.  I hadn't yet worked out whjat a safe bet the BRJ's were so £11.99 felt like quite a sum to pay blind. Bit of background noise on this one. 

Composers: Richard Hill/ John Hawkins
Years: 1979
Used: Prisoner Cell Block H
Sampled: Evidence '713 Palms'

'Landrover' at 35.32

Delightful

[Flemming]

Really appreciate the work, thanks again Retronic. 

[BlackwatchPlaid]

This is a great initiative.  Thank you very much for all your hard work Retronic!

[Retronic]

When I have the time I find it relaxing.

[Greta]

When I have the time I find it relaxing.

Yeah, I can understand that. I usually find relaxing the tagging or splitting process while I'm listening to some of the music. Strange but true.
Thanks again Retro.
