What we say

What the label says:

This charismatic music has never been issued before. It has sat silently, in Oliver Postgate’s underworld for over 40 years. For anyone living in the UK, these recordings will immediately bring back memories of happy childhoods and some of the greatest TV ever made.
The Postgate and Smallfilms output has a worldwide following, and this magical music contributes greatly to the impact these legendary TV adventures have had.
The music is wistful, sad, pastoral and utterly charming, the CDs look wonderful, sound brilliant and we’re issuing the it in time for Christmas as they make the prefect musical gift for anyone with a nostalgic bone in their body.
Incidentally, the great music is accompanied by many of the special effects invented by Oliver Postgate for the shows, like Ivor chuffing and magical noises from the Pogles Wood. There really is nothing quite like this anywhere - it’s another classic Trunk Records release.
PACKAGING INFO: CD is full colour, and comes in a beautiful slipcase with 12 page full colour concertina style booklet inside, containing rare images from both TV shows. The booklet also includes images of the original master tapes and original working notes by Oliver Postgate. It really does look beautiful, and is very much in keeping with the naïve style of the shows. The vinyl will have a similar, desirable look and is limited to 500 copies.
