Sandy believes people are going to really enjoy this album.
"Chris and I have worked very hard to rework the most popular parody songs played out on his Radio 1 show and take them to a whole new level. Every track has been recorded from scratch and several tracks feature guest appearances from the likes of Ricky Wilson (Kaiser Chiefs), Calvin Harris and more. In addition, we've written a number of brand new tracks including the very catchy 'It's Never Gonna Snow At Christmas' which should get everyone in a festive mood! Whether you are familiar with Chris's parody songs or not, this album will make you laugh out loud"
Chris Moyles - The Parody Album was produced by Sandy Beech and Chris Moyles, recorded, mixed and mastered here at Music 4 Studios with additional recording undertaken at Abbey Road Studios.

PS: look out for a very funny bonus 'behind the scenes' video which will be available on iTunes once the album is released on November the 23rd.
The extended hour-long show presented by Anne Robinson, Anita Rani and Matt Allwright will feature hard-hitting investigations, celebrity tests and also now incorporates 'Rogue Traders'.
Working closely with the show's producers, the team at Music 4 have composed new themes, beds and idents and additional sound design was added by the team at Music 4 Studios for the opening title sequences of the main Watchdog show and 'Rogue Traders'.
The show is a major part of BBC One's autumn schedule for 2009 and will air every Thursday night in a new prime time slot at 8pm.
Audio/Video coming soon.
The team here at Music 4 are extremely proud to have been with Chris every step of the way on this massive journey as the creators and producers of the shows now famous on-air branding, jingles and beds.
Over the past five years we have produced hundreds of jingles and beds for the show including the legendary 'opening song' which launched Chris onto the Radio 1 Breakfast Show in January 2004.
We remain pretty certain that the 'opening song' is the longest 'jingle' ever to be actually broadcast in full on the radio and to celebrate Chris's record breaking show the whole thing was played again (with a few changes here and there).
