'Gangsters' TV Show?

Question

Does anyone remember this show from about 1976? It was set in Birmingham I think.
What I would like to know is the name of the theme tune and where to download it?

Answer 1

I don't know what its called but "Greenslade" did all the music for the series.

The title sequence deserves special mention by virtue of its thrilling execution. First we see aerial shots of Birmingham backed by a montage of voices; more of Rolf Day's raucous jokes, conversations amongst whites, Asians and West Indians. We see shots of well-known Birmingham landmarks before an aerial shot of a man (Kline) running along on of the main roads out of the city into a road tunnel. As this point the voice montage is replaced by DAVE GREENSLADES THRILLING ELECTRONIC music. The names of most of main players, together with the credit Gangsters by Philip Martin, are brought up, and then the footage of Birmingham is intercut with trailers for Pakistani films together with superimposed captions ("Most Colourful Drama of Hate and Love", "High Voltage Drama"), then we return to a shot of Kline running down an alley in slow motion as, one by one, the letters spelling MAURICE COLBOURNE as JOHN KLINE are brought up. Then to the sound of a gong the screen floods red and the episode begins. I see you can buy it on Amazon but don't know where to download it. Hope this helps a little bit anyway.
And Greenslade are ace.

Answer 4

Good fellas is over rated,the god father is the best of the movies listed,I was also disappointed in the mob movie State of grace with sean penn.The sopranos is loosely based on the stylings of goodfellas but is a much better rendition than goodfellas.I also like casino,but it pales next to godfather 1 and 2.
