    How many of you out there remember when this was recorded? The programme was doing one of its Appeals at the time, and I remember that part of the proceeds from buying this on a vinyl single was going to that appeal. We were so proud when our family bought it, knowing tht not only was it a good tune from a familiar and beloved children's programme, we were donating to the appeal at the same time.
    As an added easter egg for all Mike Oldfield fans, the B-side was 'Woodhenge', which appears on his album titled 'Platinum@.

    for anyone who is interested although often referred to as the Sailors Hornpipe, This is in fact the very famous Hornpipe The Blue Peter, hence it's original adoption for the Children's Television program of the same name, The Blue Peter is actually a flag, the flying of which by Royal Navy Tradition on entering a home Port indicated that there would liberty for all hands, hence the joyous nature of the piece, wether this was to notify or warn the town is open to conjecture!

    • @nakedmambo
      @nakedmambo 8 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      What are you wittering on about? There is no 'very famous hornpipe' called Blue Peter. The theme is variations on the hornpipe Barnacle Bill. This has been common knowledge for the last 50-odd years.
      The flag is to tell crew to report aboard ship, not that there would be "liberty for all".

    • @dancedecker

      You are correct.
      The abrupt ending one as shown here waa the original, but there were so many complaints from radio DJs that got caught out by it, that they had to do a more usual ' it's coming to.an end shortly, mate' version, so that there weren't as many disc jockeys having to apologise for the few seconds of 'dead air ' after thinking it still had another chorus to go.

      What do you mean, "a proper ending". The track no sooner starts than finishes as it is, how on earth could they have issued a "fade out" version?.

      @paulkempton8347 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      It wasn't a fade-out - the final few seconds (where it ends 'cold') was specially re-recorded to give a more 'definite-sounding' ending. It's rarely heard, as it was (I think) only issued to radio stations and has not been given a proper re-issue.

You're comparing two tracks that were released 35 years apart from each other! I've seen much greater variations take place in much shorter careers of different musicians.

    The making of this track was filmed in 1979 on Blue Peter - I remember watching it at the time, and thought how amazing he was to play all the instruments himself - here’s the original link:

      I was there as the 'pirate' driving the hovercraft and can't remember the location. We drove there in heavy fog fog towing the hovercraft carefully following a car doing the same so did not notice the geography!

      I think its an airfield further North. Dunsfold airfield is quite near Bolney where the hovercraft arrived from. The journey took us much longer than that distance.
