This was from the first edition of top gear. It was only locally broadcasted in the midlands monthly.

Anyone else remember when Top Gear was the late night Radio 1 show for 70s rock music?? I've still got a Soft Machine session on a cassette somewhere .... If anyone could ever get captures from Wheelbase - the BBC car programme of the 60s-70s - they could be fun.

@dsl: did you know, that for the Capri MkII even an own jingle was composed? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANyWEXLo6u8 You hear the "Capri Zwei".
As I've heard (but only by rumour), he http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klaus_Doldinger had composed it. I'm sure, he's not unknown for you ;)
His most popular composition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkgtA30tZn8

Never heard of him - he must be foreign or something. But Das Boot was superb. Have an old favourite which is always worth revisiting in reply - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoa3OTJfWIY .

That theme was composed by Roy Budd IIRC - who had a jazz-background just like Doldinger. As far as I`m concerned, Doldinger`s finest hour was this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvalGxHcgCw -especially the Fender Rhodes-part from 1:15 on.
@ingo: I`m sorry but AFAIK it was rather Christian Bruhn who wrote the Capri II- jingle: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Bruhn#Schlager
@dsl: This was Doldinger's band that gained at least a bit international attention- among jazz enthusiasts, that is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passport_(band)

@cl82: oh, yes, you're correct. Yes, he was responsible for a plenty of 1970-memories: Link to "www.youtube.com" (incl.the jingle for the Ford Taunus [TC1]

I don't really do jazz, but occasionally something slips under the wires. This week it's something German as well - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vd6JVdrihKw

I never heard Buddy Bolden say that!

I'm afraid that the Kraftwerke derivative leaves me completely unmoved, the drummer is too extrovert.

You can't beat a good bit of mad piano and drums....

To come back to topic (noone should have in mind to provoke the holy anger of the Mr.admin :whistle: ):
Annoyingly :mad: I cannot find the Youtube of this VW-made commercial of the 1971 model range (a few scenes we have in the database, as /vehicle_289708-Volkswagen-1600-Typ-31-1971.html ). The music there was composed indeed by Klaus Doldinger.

@johnfromStaffs, @dsl: thanks for the links, but cl82 and me aren't allowed to watch them [:kiki]

P.S. Here the mentioned Ford Taunus [TC1]-jingle: Link to "www.youtube.com"
Extreme-70ies-ish, eeh? :king:

I hope that you watched Jazz 625 last night, then. Marian McPartland and Oscar Peterson, should have made your evening.
