HI

I too watched “V @ S” in the 50’s and 60’s, I watched it so much I even memorized the script of each episode. I also watched the British equivilent of 2 similar series, “World at War” and I forgot the title of the other one,{hey, , I’m 57 now that WAS a LONG time ago}. But the music of “V @ S” really sunk into me. In the early 1970’s an organist named Dennis James recorded the soundtrack version of the orchestral music on a “Mighty Wurlitzer” theatre pipe organ, is sounded GREAT! I play the organ myself{not professionally}, and I have a copy of “No Other Love” that I play as “Under the Southern Cross”{as a waltz just as presented in the movie} and as “the Guadalcanal March”. My one attempt to relive that beautiful music score.

Steve H, I took organ lessons as a kid (should read “my parents made me take organ lessons as a kid”) and I remember actually having the sheet music for most of Victory at Sea. I know it had the main theme (Song of the High Seas I think its called) as well as the “German submarine music”, Guadalcanal March and Beneath the Southern Cross. There may have been more, I can’t remember (common problem these days), but it was available and may still be. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough to keep me interested in continuing the lessons.
