I find the different choice of instruments interesting, & love that they didn't try to alter or change the basic percussion (which sounds very much like the original version). I didn't even mind the extra passages here & there, which contributed to a sense of foreboding. So all in all, a great listen, & I'm glad I ran across it!
Produced by Peter Vince who sadly passed away last year. He engineered many hits by The Shadows, The Seekers and many more at Abbey Road Studios in the 60s. Top bloke, always happy to answer questions.
Oooh can see Geoff Randall coming out of the back door of Adams furnishings, Harrow, doubled as his office door. Used to regularly pass it as a 15 year old hoping to see the actors, silly me☹️
+John Robertson Thanks John, makes you wonder how near to the original version this would have been had Astley released it as a single, we will never know.
I'm dancing round the room with my pet to this wonderful version of R&HD theme. ThanQ for sharing. Rest in eternal peace Mike Pratt.

Faint echoes of The Third Man.
A slight Ipcress File vibe with this version.
jazzed up slightly by paramor, but yes pretty close to the original.
