Music recording at Armstrongs Audio Video.

Peter Best cut his feature film teeth as a composer by working with feature film producer on the low budget experimental 1970 drama Jack and Jill: a postscript.

Best went on score the two Barry McKenzie films.

He would become one of the major contributors to the revival of screen music in , with scores for films such as Muriel's Wedding, the first two Crocodile Dundees and Bliss. He has also had a successful career in the advertising game.

He did several scores for Tim Burstall's films, starting with the score for Burstall's The Child episode of the four part portmanteau feature Libido, followed by Petersen and then End Play.

He has a short (at time of writing) wiki here, and should not be confused with the original drummer for The Beatles.

(Lyrics for opening theme as sung in the film by Linda George): Love, I will sing for you Sing such a sad song Love, when my song is through Please meet me alone Singing, love is a stranger Who comes quietly calling The eyes of a madman In the face of a friend Love likes to take you Without any warning But love leaves you cold With a fire in your heart in the end Some will sigh with love Some will be lonely and lost To die for love Some must survive Singing love is an eagle And you are a sparrow Hearing the call that you have to obey Love is the cupid Who kills with his arrow Yes, love is the name Of the deadliest game you can play ...

(The theme is repeated without lyrics over end titles).
