A small number of tie-in music releases have been issued regarding the series.

Le Tango d'Intervilles

Léon Zitrone and Guy Lux: Le Tango de Intervilles
President Records, France, 1964

Intervilles presenters Léon Zitrone and Guy Lux's 7" single release based upon Paul Mauriat's celebrated theme to the series. Record Number PRC 371. Reissued in 1970 as 'Intervilles '70'.

Herb Alpert - S.R.O.

Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass: S.R.O.
A&M Records, United States of America, 1966

The seventh LP album from Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass contains a track called Bean Bag (written by Pisano-Wechter-Alpert), which would be used a few years later as the theme to the BBC domestic series of It's A Knockout. While not a 'tie-in' as such, as the track pre-dated the series and was not composed for it, it's worth listing here as fans may wish to buy the CD, which has recently been reissued in remastered form.

Carrere Records, France, 1987

This 7" single was issued in France to coincide with the 1987 series of Intervilles.

The A-side is entitled Shanana (4 minutes, 16 seconds) and is credited to R. Tweston/R. Simister - L.G., while the B-side, Nosica Tcha Tcha (4 minutes and 6 seconds) is by L.G. - R. Tweston. Cover illustration: Blanchard. Back cover photography: J. Morell of Interpress. Production: Master Fil Rouge. Record number: CA 171 14.281.
