70s series opening theme

Post by OFM »

Hello! I have heard the opening theme song of the o Famous Five series of 70s but I never happened to find information on the record that contains this song.

Who sings the song? Who are the authors?
was published only on 45 rpm or even in some compilation ?

Someone has an image of the disc and the cover?

Thanks :)
Ciao

Here's an MP3 download link for the 70's series theme. However, anyone who wishes to listen to that B side should be thoroughly, thoroughly ashamed! :lol:

There are programs able to download either the flv-file (video + sound) or the sound alone. I use Ashampoo
Clipfinder HD for this purpose, but naturally other programs can do the trick too. Hope this'll help, Wayne.

Hi Wayne,
if you google for "ashampoo clipfinder hd download" it should give some URLs where to download it. The program itself needs a registration key after a trial of 10 days, but otherwise it's freeware. Once you installed and started it you can search for various video portals for key words. If you found the file you're looking for you can watch it and decide whether you want to save it as a video file (*.flv or mp4) or if you simply want to save the audio file *.mp3. You can also choose the location where to save this file. I hope this helps. Most of the program is self-explaining.
Good luck and have fun downloading,
Wolfgang
