theme was On a Clear Day by Frank Chacksfield. By listening to old
tapes, the theme certainly sounds much like On a Clear Day, (from
the US Broadway show & later film starring Barbara Streisand) but
after extensive searching, including many hours in oldies record
stores going through numerous Chacksfield LP's and singles, as well
as searching old Decca catalogues and the BBC record library, no
version by Chacksfield was ever found. Another possibility was that
the theme could be vocal version, with the vocals edited out, or that

Thanks to some detective work by Chris Cortez, we've now
discovered that the stations daily theme was actually Sentimental

Telecast Orchestra conducted by Robert Farnon. Canadian Farnon
assembled the Telecast Orchestra from the top session musicians of

small Grasmere Records label issued it as an LP track on London
Calling! Famous Themes Volume 3. The LP sleeve notes make no
mention of Radio 390, but instead states “Sentimental – theme of
Richard Attenborough presents”, which was presumedly a radio show.
Third World - Love Is Out To Get You. Als je denkt aan de
reggae achtige LA jingle ‘Special announcement to the universe’ dan
is de opener van het nummer ‘Love is out to get you’. In dezelfde LA
spot werd ook het al eerder gememoreerde ‘Once there’s love’ van
Third World gebruikt.
Thomas Jefferson Kaye - L.A. Het nummer ‘L.A.’ is van een uit
1974 afkomstige LP ‘First Grade’ en de titel stuurt ons dan ook
