VA - ITV @ 60 - 75 Original Classic ITV Themes (2022 Remastered Expanded Edition) [2015] (2 x CDs) 

Since the Ronnie Hazlehurst BBC themes have proved to be very popular, I thought BBs visitors may enjoy another of my UK TV themes compilations.

I initially compiled this compilation to celebrate the 60th anniversary of ITV in the UK in 2015.  I was really hoping Network would have released something along the lines of the great and exceptionally rare British TV Themes A-Z 4CD series but focusing only on ITV themes. Unfortunately, this didn't happen, just a DVD box set, so I decided to take it upon myself to put this compilation together. My original collection was compiled in 2015 and contained 60 tracks, but I took some time to revisit it last year in 2022 and expand upon it.

Many themes have been taken from new sources, a vast improvement on the original files. Now featuring 75 100% all original themes on a 2CD set, with many rare and extremely hard to find, all fully remastered and edited in superior sound quality.

Enjoy!
