The trail has led them to a remote piece of Norfolk forest (the exact location remains a secret for now) where they have uncovered several astounding finds, including buried hauls of photographs, documents and various artefacts as well as physical evidence that proves that there was indeed a village there at some point until very recently. The finds are being catalogued and are provoking a great deal of discussion among historians and scholars. So far very few details have emerged about what it is that has been found but a few select photos have been revealed with more expected to follow. </p><p>I will endeavour to follow this story very closely and keep this blog up to date on the latest news....</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyalifLbWV15oc2UDz1dyIHW9h01dWzpR_4S8ArBkGwgFJb5gV208oeAqgi9LmoR-L2HzSDF7YAqCsBEOt3S-Kniydw5b00eigt1URBT0dGGq_M2h2qgysL_MInNvTJHLTaVmUI6dURR75qpZohRibpYu2jzWtfTHkUncPgEj1Ne4NWqbfolF2GuSPGg/s1200/Norfolk-Map.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1200" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyalifLbWV15oc2UDz1dyIHW9h01dWzpR_4S8ArBkGwgFJb5gV208oeAqgi9LmoR-L2HzSDF7YAqCsBEOt3S-Kniydw5b00eigt1URBT0dGGq_M2h2qgysL_MInNvTJHLTaVmUI6dURR75qpZohRibpYu2jzWtfTHkUncPgEj1Ne4NWqbfolF2GuSPGg/w400-h300/Norfolk-Map.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>Mark Morbhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11114096429413246999noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3398339087295992551.post-79470456835470911722019-06-10T08:33:00.000+01:002019-06-10T08:34:11.268+01:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The song was written in 1933 for the movie "Moulin Rouge" by Harry Warren and Al Dubin and has been recorded by many, many people (Probably the most famous being Tony Bennett) and I have managed to collect a fair few versions over the years....but this one has to be my favourite, not just because of the title track but also within the context of the whole album.<br />
<br />
Ferlin Husky released this album in 1957 and you just know what you're getting by looking at the cover!...it's a pretty bleak album and every song sits firmly within this world of heartbreak and loss, even the more sprightly songs like "Me and My Shadow" are arranged and sung in a way that pulls out the melancholy and puts it front and centre. Backed by The Jordanaires it does have a feeling of early Elvis ballads about it, but a bit more country and a lot less rock and roll in the vocal delivery...<br />
<br />
I managed to snag a good promo copy for just a few pounds and I present it here in a new 24Bit 96KHz rip with scanned artwork. I've lightly cleaned up the recording but it's not the best produced album in the world and there's a bit of vinyl rumble but overall it'll do just fine....enjoyed best alone, at night, and with a bottle of Whisky.<br />

Easily my second favourite theme to this series, it's a great bit of electronic music and it did indeed sound like it was music from the future back then. Listening to it now it's still great (with a surprisingly hefty 4/4 beat), it's clearly influenced by Jean-Michel Jarre and has a little Star Wars style middle eight but that can be forgiven when you consider this was 1980.<br />
I initially made a rip from the 7" vinyl release of this theme but it wasn't in the greatest of condition so ended up recording it from an LP release from 1980 of this and many other Denton/Cook themes (more info <a href="http://www.discogs.com/Richard-Denton-Martin-Cook-Hong-Kong-Beat-Other-BBC-TV-Themes/release/668214" target="_blank">here</a>) and to my ears this is a better quality pressing than the 7" anyway. As a bonus I've included the theme from "Hong Kong Beat" as well, it's a great little mid-tempo number with a Pink Floyd type vibe.<br />
<br />

<div>
It took me right back to being a child in the 70's but I couldn't recall where I knew it from.</div>
<div>
I listened to the end and discovered it was "Gurney Slade" by Max Harris.</div>
<div>
Now this rang no bells with me whatsoever so I turned to Google to help me out. It transpires that the tune was the theme to "The Strange World of Gurney Slade" a six part TV series broadcast on ITV in 1960. </div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Clearly my memories of the tune could not be from that (it predates me by 10 years), a few clicks later and I discovered that the tune had also been used in "Vision On", a series that I remember well and defines a particular era of my childhood, so mystery solved.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Anyway, it's a great piece of flute jazz music, I do love these "Jazz" theme tunes from the 60's (see also my post for Johhny Dankworth's "Tomorrows World" theme <a href="http://markmorb.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/tomorrows-world-pt1.html" target="_blank">here</a>)</div>
<div>
There have been a few versions recorded over the years and I've started to buy the original 7" singles, this download includes a rip straight from the original Max Harris 7" as well as a 7" released by Steve Stannard in the same year. The original version is the smoothest and classiest but the Stannard version is faster and swings a bit more during the solo, leave you to decide which is the best. </div>
<div>
I'm still looking out for other versions and will post them as I find them....links in comments (24Bit 96KHz & 320K MP3)<br />

As you've probably guessed by now I'm a fan of images that contain striking contrasts, and this is not the first time I've posted a picture where a figure in red is set against a natural, green background (see this <a href="http://markmorb.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/if-you-go-down-to-woods-today-2.html" target="_blank">post</a>).<br />
<br />
This one is part of a set that Willoughby took of Audrey Hepburn and is my favourite due to the pose and composition.<br />

I thought I would post it on here as it reminded me of the imagery that is used in the recent Horror/Home Invasion movie "You're Next" by Adam Wingard.<br />
There's just something about people in animal masks that used out of any specific context can really create a sense of unease, something obviously understood by Mr Wingard and the Artist behind this cover.<br />

Eugene Smith.<br />
<br />
Called "Factory Reflected in River" and taken in 1955 it's just wonderful. There are thousands of pictures that use reflections to create the desired effect (and why not) but this has got to be my favourite. Everything about it is just right, the unusual framing (cutting off the tops of the furthest buildings), the contrasts, the way your eye is drawn around it. To me it's as if someone has started a painting on canvas and the paint has slowly dripped down across the frame.<br />

<br />
I've made no secret of my slight obsession with all things TWOTW, be it books, music, films or whatever else I can find related to this classic story from H.G. Wells. One of the forms this interest takes is that I snap up copies of the book whenever I stumble across them, mainly due to the different covers (of which there are literally hundreds). It's intriguing to see how the different cover artists have interpreted the tripod fighting machines over the years.<br />
<br />
Having just photographed a batch of books (including TWOTW editions) I thought that would be a good place to start, so check them out below.<br />

<br />
When I was about 15 I borrowed a record from my local library (yes, libraries used to rent out vinyl in those days) it was a sampler from the Jive Electro label called "Disc Drive" (<a href="http://www.discogs.com/Various-Disc-Drive/release/398698" target="_blank">discogs</a>) and had a great "Tron" style cover. I'd only heard of one of the acts on it, Tangerine Dream, but I liked those so that was good enough for me. Anyway, I loved it and a cassette copy of it was duly created and played to death. I ended up buying all the albums represented on the compilation but my favourite at the time was by Mark Shreeve (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Shreeve" target="_blank">wikipedia</a>) and the LP in question was called "Legion" (<a href="http://www.discogs.com/Mark-Shreeve-Legion/release/335158" target="_blank">discogs</a>)<br />
<br />
Legion has subsequently been released on CD but back in the day there was a 12" release with three mixes on it (<a href="http://www.discogs.com/Mark-Shreeve-Legion/master/105106" target="_blank">discogs</a>) and as far as I"m aware these have never been released on CD. I don't think either of the first two mixes are as good as the original (and they haven't aged as well) but they're definitely worth checking out. If you haven't heard this track before then I'd suggest listening to the "Satan Mix" first as I'm sure it's just the original LP version with a new name and holds up far better than the other two versions in my opinion. <br />
<br />
There is an MP3 rip floating around already but I've gone back to the original vinyl and produced a brand new High Res rip (with an optional MP3 version for those so inclined).<br />
<br />
Keep an eye out for some more "Disc Drive" related rips coming soon (I'm talking to you "Willesden Dodgers" fans), I may even do a new rip of the actual compilation LP.<br />
