Gordons Gin

Cast your mind back many years - at the cinema - the Gordons Gin advert had a grat theme tune (The Human League did a version of it on the Travellogue album) - Who wrote it, who played the original and where can I get a copy

Its been at least 25 years since I heard it and I found myself humming it

All you Kids who wernt around in those days - have a listen if you can it is well worth it

Well, Jeff Wayne wrote it - it says so in the credits for Travelogue.

Further to the answer by jenstar - this from Blind Youth, a complete guide to The Human League 1977-1980.

Gordon's Gin 
   An instrumental written by Jeff Wayne for a TV commercial advertising Gordon's Gin, which the League recorded three times. The two demos, recorded with a vaguely disco-influenced arrangement, formed the basis of the version played at many of the original group's live shows. The first demo was subtitled Inept (probably because it included a number of mistakes!) and was followed by a more sophisticated version, known simply as Gordon's Gin 2.
In 1980, the track was re-recorded for the Travelogue album, this time replacing the disco traces with a slightly harder, more urgent approach.
