time.

in
2004.

was
written
by
Duncan
Lamont,
and
featured
some
iconic
session
musicians
including
Kenny
Wheeler,
Ray

and
Duncan

Ray

used
the
same
instruments
as
he
used
on
The
Beatles
Penny
Lane
on
these
recordings.
Mr
Benn
has
an
enduring
popularity,
and
was
shown
on
The
BBC
every
year
from
1971
-
1999,
then
on
Nick
Jnr
till
2010.
The
sessions
have
ben
fully
remastered,
and
sound
fabulous!
It
was
due
to
Nick
Jnr
that
a
14th
Mr
Benn
cartoon
was
made,
and
the
second
session
features
re-working
of
some
of
the
original
tunes
as
well
as
lots
of
new
tunes
for
Gladiator.
The
packaging
features
an
insert
with
Mr
Benn
dressed
in
all
his
adventure
outfits,
and
a
game
to
match
all
the
souvenirs
to
each
adventure.
Not
to
be
missed.
A
must
for
everybody
that
grew
up
with
Mr
Benn.
All
the
sleeve
notes
have
been
written
by
The
Mr
Benn
cartoon
producer
Clive
Juster,
and
are
full
of
insights
from
the
recording
sessions.
