It seems that despite the fact that Grange Hill may have disappeared from our screens after all these years the BBC are not quite ready to turn their backs on it yet, as they’ve just released a three disc CD set comprising over 60 classic eighties tracks entitled Grange Hill – The Album
Obviously Grange Hill’s was at its most popular during the 1980’s, so despite the show running up until recently this album is firmly rooted in the eighties. As well as the obligatory Grange Hill theme tune (apparently officially called Chicken Man fact fans) you’ll find hits from such acts as Adam and the Ants, Queen, Madness, The Human League, Shakin’ Stevens, Wham!, Culture Club, David Bowie and many more (as they always say on the adverts for such albums). You’ll even find Toni Basil’s Mickey and Rupert and the Frog Song on there too!
However, be aware! Make sure you don’t get the confusingly same titled Grange Hill – The Album

The old “SS” badge…if you look closely, the left hand S is actually a G, the right hand one an S and in-between and behind them – looking like the knots – is an H. GHS – Grange Hill School.
I just did some image searching and you are quite right, it is indeed GHS, though it certainly doesn’t look like it at a quick glance. Still, at least it was better than the horribly garish yellow and purple affair that it got turned into in later years.
