Notes
A veritable concoction of knock-off sports TV themes that sound nothing like the original tracks. Think I got this one off ebay for a few pennies, because of the inclusion of the !Question Of Sport" theme. I can't remember if I knew this CD was going to be bad. But it is.

The "cricket" theme on its own is a desparate case of quality control. It just stops. No fade. Nothing to sense the tune is coming to an end. Whoever recorded it just stopped playing. Absolutely terrible.

Sometimes I just play the tracks just to laugh at how bad they are. There's not a saviour amongst them. The CD ends with the afore-mentioned "Question Of Sport" theme, which is far away from the original, Ritchie Close would be revolving in his grave. A terrible end to a terrible CD.
