And so in late 2009, 30 years on from the day it was created, we can all enjoy some of the most beautiful music made for some of the greatest TV ever produced. (Jonny Trunk)

Fact magazine has the story of how Jonny Trunk rescued from obscurity the soundtrack of David Attenborough’s 1979 tv series “Life on Earth”, composed by Edward Williams. Trunk has compiled a reissue due out soon (Nov 2).

The story behind the unearthing of this music is quite an interesting read (read it at FACT). I’m excited to hear this!

Speaking of Sir David Attenborough… The BBC website has recently issued a collection of his favourite clips from all the tv he’s done with them.
