The Speccy Song
Published November 4, 2008 | Obviously this isn’t an ad but I thought I would put it up just the same. A song dedicated to the good old Sinclair Spectrum. This is very well produced and uses the mellow tones of the Speccy loading games sounds to create a unique piece of music.
If you are a Speccy fan and retro geek you will think this cool. Enjoy!
