UPDATE (02/04/17): The link below is now dead, and this album now resides here.
Found lying at the bottom of a drawer at the now-defunct Peartree Productions…
I’m Alan Partridge Soundtrack (142MB, 256kbps MP3)
You probably already know whether this is something you want to hear or not, although it’s hopefully a bit more interesting than a straight list of songs from the show. I think it’s nice to listen to without knowing the track listing first, so if you’re interested, try to resist clicking on the link below until you’ve heard it! (Note however that the MP3 I’m making available here is one long track rather than split.) Have fun…
Track listing: Show
With thanks to Seb Patrick for the album cover, and Jonathan Capps, Andrew Ellard, Tanya Jones, Seb Patrick, popdeath, Daniel Stephenson, and Ian Symes for help and feedback.

Nobody does it better

What’s the link between Alan P and track 18?

That cover can’t fly without Wings!
John Hoare on 10 September 2010 @ 9pm
Paul: See Track 19 for the answer! (It’s from Episode 5 of the first series: To Kill A Mocking Alan.)

Loved it. What a beauty!

Utterly marvellous! If I wore a hat, I’d tip it to you right now.
John Hoare on 20 September 2010 @ 7pm
Thanks to everyone who’s said they liked this!
Had a few requests for a sequel. I may have used up most of the music that evokes the series – your It Started With A Kiss and the like – but there’s plenty left that he mentions in the radio bits or sings a bit of, and loads of radio bits themselves which are missing too. (Can’t believe I missed out “THERE. IS. NOTHING.”)
So yeah, I’ll have a crack at a second one. Won’t be immediately, though, as I’m busy with other things at the moment.

Lovely stuff. Thanks for the effort that must have gone in to putting this together.

First class editing on the “Glang… glanga langa langa langa langa lang” bit. Ten on ten.
John Hoare on 5 October 2010 @ 2pm
Thanks. You’ve spotted what I found the most difficult bit on the album!
Originally, it just cut off after the first of Alan’s glangs, as the rest of them weren’t in time to the music. But it sounded a bit odd, and – after much encouragement from people who rightly thought the original was a bit rubbish – I managed to retime the rest of Alan’s glangs to fit, by chopping them up and adding audience laughter from earlier in the scene.

I love you, in a way.

thanks very much for this!

Thanks so much for doing this — had a great laugh, and a lot of fun. Did you ever end up making a follow up; if you did, could you link to it?
John Hoare on 31 March 2012 @ 11pm
Thanks – so pleased people are still enjoying this!
Never did a follow-up – I have a vague idea of doing one based around The Young Ones, when I get the time…

Ruddy marvellous – you should get a Brave award for this.

How about making a new one of Mid Morning Matters too?
John Hoare on 12 August 2013 @ 11am
I’ve definitely considered it. I think I’ll wait for Series 2 to be broadcast this year, and have a go.
Steev Bishop on 24 January 2015 @ 7pm
Brilliant mix, thanks!
Barbara Kirk on 19 July 2016 @ 6pm
Yes, a Mid Morning Matters one could be good – add the acapella version of Smells Like Teen Spirit from AP’s Scissored Isle to this as I was so angry the announcer talked over it!
Miguel on 21 September 2016 @ 10pm
I’m listening now and really enjoying it. Cheers
Barbara Kirk on 3 April 2017 @ 2pm
Loved this compilation! A Mid Morning Matters one must have Are Friends Electric and Gypsies, Tramps & Thieves on.
John Hoare on 4 April 2017 @ 4am
Yeah, I definitely need to make a Mid Morning Matters one. Need to do a full rewatch and take it from there.
