To me this perfectly evokes growing up in the late 50s-early 60s more than just about any other piece of music.    

I think the first single I bought was an instrumental . African Waltz by the Johnny Dankworth Orchestra .  Strange choice for a 12 year old!  

Bit more of my Daughters double......Karolina.......

This one is for you, colly0410. It's the Shadows on 'The Multi-Coloured Swap Shop' with Noel Edmonds in 1981. 'Telstar' was my Mums favourite tune so it's a bit of nostalgia for me, also.

Thanks for the link Michael, I've never heard that version of Telstar before, I like it..

Knew the tune as soon as it started playing but strangely never knew the title of the piece. Yes very evocative of the era.

This is the first of a playlist of BBC Radio theme tunes that strikes many memories, just scroll down to your favourites and get transported back in time.

Wasn't Westminster Waltz the link music for In Town Tonight the theme of which The Knightsbridge Mark was written by Hucknall's own Eric Coates
