This is due to chief inspector Horst Tappert’s posthumously publicized Nazi past.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA comparable TV series, on the other hand, continues to run unwaveringly to this day: \u003cem\u003eDER ALTE\u003c\/em\u003e. What they both have in common, and the subject of this album, is that \u003cstrong\u003ePeter Thomas\u003c\/strong\u003e was one of their musical creators in their early phase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThomas and his Sound Orchester composed and played the music for the first \u003cem\u003eDERRICK\u003c\/em\u003e episode \"\u003cem\u003eWaldweg\u003c\/em\u003e\" (1974). Six more followed. The composer and musician even made a cameo appearance in the \u003cem\u003eDERRICK\u003c\/em\u003e episode \"\u003cem\u003eDeath of the Trumpeter\u003c\/em\u003e\" (1976), where he is in the audience of singer Sabrina (Emy Cesaroni) and briefly interacts with her. The corresponding track \"\u003cem\u003eOhne Dich Ist Es Nacht\u003c\/em\u003e\" once was a successful single and can be heard on this album.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThree years later, in 1977, \u003cstrong\u003ePeter Thomas\u003c\/strong\u003e even wrote the theme music for the first 100 episodes of the TV crime series \u003cem\u003eDER ALTE\u003c\/em\u003e, as well as the music for four episodes, including the first \"\u003cem\u003eDie Dienstreise\u003c\/em\u003e\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMusically, the range extends from a discofox version of \"\u003cem\u003eThe House Of The Rising Sun\u003c\/em\u003e\" to easy listening and krautrock and funky instrumentals. It’s surprising how experimental people were in the seventies when it came to the musical equipment of TV series, before the synthesizers overtook everything in the eighties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMore than half of the tracks on this album are previously unreleased, so we can confidently speak of a premiere. As a bonus, two tracks from the first \u003cem\u003eDERRICK\u003c\/em\u003e episode are included, which have turned up in the estate of \u003cstrong\u003ePeter Thomas\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the same source - but only included on the CD for reasons of space - come the presentation of two versions of the \"\u003cem\u003eDER ALTE\u003c\/em\u003e\" title theme presented by \u003cstrong\u003ePeter Thomas\u003c\/strong\u003e and a demo version of \"\u003cem\u003eOhne Dich Ist Es Nacht\u003c\/em\u003e\" sung by himself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter \u003cem\u003eBruce Lee: The Big Boss\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eWinnetou and Old Firehand\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eSteiner - Cross of Iron 2\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eEdgar Wallace\u003c\/em\u003e, this is the fifth LP\/CD release in a series dedicated to the German composer \u003cstrong\u003ePeter Thomas\u003c\/strong\u003e (1925-2020).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe illustrations on and in the gatefold cover of the LP and the digipack of the CD, which perfectly capture the look of the series, were created by Adrian Keindorf. \u003cem\u003eDERRICK\u003c\/em\u003e aka. \u003cem\u003eINSPECTEUR DERRICK\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eL'ISPETTORE DERRICK\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eDER ALTE\u003c\/em\u003e aka. \u003cem\u003eTHE OLD FOX\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eLE RENARD\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eIL COMMISSARIO KÖSTER\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Allscore","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50931985154379,"sku":"2235267","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_3a85ac93_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1733336073"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/collections\/allscore.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
