As a followup to the "Library Rhodes" compilation from the other day, here's Alan Tew's 1975 soundtrack to the Yorkshire TV series "The Hanged Man". This has been around the blogs in a lower bit rate, but here it is in glorious FLAC or 320-mp3, take your choice ...
Several (if not all?) of these tracks were Tew's former library tracks renamed for the series and album release, and four of them actually appeared on the above-mentioned rhodes comp under the original titles - but here's the whole thing.
"Bullet" were a studio band. No exact info is available, but I've read elsewhere that it was likely to have been library legends Alan Parker, Barry Morgan, Les Hurdle on bass, and possibly Alan Hawkshaw on keys.
My files come from a now-deleted CD re-release from 1998, but I've grabbed the images from the original vinyl version from Discogs, 'cos it's a nicer cover, love the star heads. Enjoy.

Can't resist an upgrade from the master. A stone cold classic. Cheers!
Well done Simon, checking this out at work, will definitely grab it as soon as I get home tonight.
Cheers,
Dope tracks...
Thanks. Great to have a top quality rip.Still find it amusing that some of this music was used to soundtrack The Two Ronnies comedy sketches. I guess that's the nature of library music.
so so rad, thanks!
VERY cool. Many thanks.
this is a blessing to have in lossless. thank you!
merci mille fois
Right up my alley - thanks again!

NICE, this is awesome.
Thanks for your upgrade, mate! (hey, when did you became a FLAC-guy?)

hey arkadin, I hadn't really put time into finding a free FLAC-making app for Mac ... but checked it out a bit and found Max, which is pretty good ...
Thanks Simon,wonderful upload as always!!
thanks, simon. I always knew this as one of those high roller's "wall pieces," but I realized I've never actually heard it. looking forward to it!

EXELLENT!
Some tracks used in blaxploitation satire movie "Black Dynamite" along with one my favourite tracks; Alan Hawkshaw's "Name of the game". It's a real gem, i'm glad at last someone discovered and appreciated it to use in a movie but i would like to hear it in a Tarantino movie :P
Black Dynamite (2009) IMDB:

Your blog is one of the greatest, keep on doing what you do.
I discovered some music here that screams to be sampled.
I picked up a copy of this on Contour in WH Smith in Blackpool in an upstairs bargain bin in when the tv series had just finished. 25pence. Bargain. Thanks for this. Now i don't have to worry about transferring it.
