Great taste. I suspect mine was something uber-geeky like Mike Oldfield's version of the Blue Peter theme.

Hmmmmmm. My memory of that is I had it on one of those K Tel LPs. Anyone remember them? They were the 70s version of Now and the songs on them had been out of the charts some time. I loved that one though and this has reminded me of it. Had a purple cover. Also had 'The ink is black, the page is white' by Greyhound and 'Morning Has Broken' by Cat Stevens on it. Classics
