Sounds like the sharonettes...papa mow...don't pay more than a fiver   

[Mike]

sounds like the Gordons Gin thing to me

few topics about it in past

here's one

 

[Rick Scott]

Don Thomas Come On Train

[Mike]

???

At 19 mins here, it plays the Gordon Gin thing

Sharonettes is at 0 mins,  Don Thomas at 5 mins 

Member said 19 mins..

[Happy Feet]

Just looked and it's on YouTube Gordon's Gin advert 1970 if you want to watch it , 

[Woodbutcher]

Just as an aside , I've always thought a certain Master Weller 'borrowed' the riff from the Gin thing for "Happy Together Now" on the last Jam studio LP "The Gift" ... 

[Happy Feet]

So it's Jeff Wayne , Gordon's Gin advert , Covered by Human League, and sampled by Mr Weller , 

The Crazy World of Northern Soul eh

£ 40 FOR A GIN RECORD ??? DEFO THE STRANGE WORLD OF NORTHERN SOUL

The OP says "...what the track is at 19:00 minutes." So is it the track that's 19 minutes in or the track that plays when the time stamp hits 19 minutes? 

[St Pauli soul]

Thanks Guys, after over 35 years I finally know I can give up looking to get a copy of this "Gordens Dry Gin" advert.

it's the gordon's gin theme but sounds different to the jeff wayne version.

[Prophonics 2029]

The Human League did a version in 1980.

 

[Prophonics 2029]

the start sounds like a different song, I wondering if Jeff Wayne ripped off an older song he heard for this. 

[Paul R]

That's one that certainly passed me by at the time. Listening to the other tracks it must be very late 74, but more like mid 75.

I’m almost reluctant to keep this going! 
however that’s definitely the promo 7 of Gordon’s Gin as it came out inc the slow intro. If you’re comparing to some of the YouTube clips available, they’re mostly the 80s  version.

IMB - as I’ve never said in my life…

The gear was certainly good in them days   I'd need to be off my head to put up with crap like this

[Alexis Vanlee]

There was a version of this about 1974/5 played by Bill Beard aka Billy Paul Dj at Tiff's Ashton think did Mr Ms once or twice. It was recorded at Ashton Cinema the Talking left in the centre, (its the real thing) pearl and dean gordens gin ad then laid down on Acetate there was only ever 5 copies done. not sure if i still have or threw it out as damaged. ..Yes it was Chalky

I collect theme tunes and I like it for that reason - alone.

From what I recall most people (admittedly off their rockers…) just looked it at as someone having a bit of laugh (including a few half hearted dancers who just kept their space on the floor for 2 minutes).  

It was  nowhere near taking off in any meaningful way and nobody expected it to.

My gang thought it was fun for a moment. No more, no more less.

Gordon's Gin advert was released in 1976 so I'm not sure what you could have heard.

[Alexis Vanlee]

Prophonics Think you might find Gordon's Gin advert 1970 with the right music never released on vinyl.. you lost 6 years because of the drugs. its Jeff Wayne version that was released in 1976 your thinking of its different. But am sure Bill Beard had it done and played it at wigan on a emi

I never touched drugs at Wigan.

I can only go off what I see  I actually found a previous Soul Source thread that claimed it was Classical Gas.

Same claim was made in this thread a while back ... 

Never ceases to amaze me why some people are still posting wrong answers to a question that was answered correctly ages ago ... the thread has even been tagged as answered thus ... 

I can't decide whether it's because they cannot read , cannot hear , cannot tell the time or are just too lazy to read the thread .... ?

Don't lose your hair (if you still have any) over a TV advert it's not with it. Check the facts. How can a recording released in 1979 be played at Wigan in 1974 , what's the next claim ? The Dr Who them was played in Mr Ms in 1973
