WHAT IS THAT SIGNATURE TUNE?

If you have ever asked, ‘What is the QUOTE ... UNQUOTE signature tune?’ and wondered if you could get hold of a copy, there is after all these years, both good and bad news. 

Entitled DUDDLY DELL, written and performed by Dudley Moore, it was the B-side of his single STRICTLY FOR THE BIRDS (Parlophone 45R 4772) in 1961.

For years, when people asked me what it was, I had to tell them the record was no longer available.  But in April 2002 it was re-released on an album entitled AUTHENTIC DUD, VOL. 2 by Harkit Records (HRKCD 8019).  Alas, jubilation was short-lived as this record has now been withdrawn for legal reasons.  Tracks from the album may now be available as a download from www.7digital.com

If you are still very keen, I might even be able to let you see the sheet music.
