BR/NSE Training Video Music IDENTIFIED!

[wombey12]

I thought it'd be good to get this out there on the open web so it doesn't remain an eternal mystery to those curious in such an obscure topic: some of the cheesy 80s music from the NSE corporate training tapes by SPA Films has been identified!

The 'generic' theme (DC and AC coupling, power door operation and probably some others) is "Special Friend" from the "The Need To Fly" stock album by Valerie and Neville Parsons of Bosworth and Co (Catalogue no. BOS 161).

The theme to the 442/Wessex Electrics introduction with Martin Squibb is "News Team Presents" from the same collection.

"Fizzy Bizzness" and "Prestigious Accolade" are also used in one or two tapes but I can't remember for the life of me what ones those are.

All can be found here.

Little addition - "Fizzy Bizzness" is used in 'Flagging an Automatic Signal'

Brilliant discovery!

Interesting, thank you for this. I have a soft spot for cheesey corporate synth, so I very much appreciate it!

I have been looking for these for god knows how long!

Thank You!

"Prestigious Accolade" is used in the London Underground training video "Traction Current: Dead or Alive?"
One you didn't mention is "Zilch" which is used in the DLR Push-Out Procedure training video.
