BARRY GRAY / DON SPENCER Fireball XL5 (2020 UK limited edition Mono 7" single pressed on Transparent Orange Vinyl, the original theme sung by Don Spencer with the XL5, also including Zero G by Barry Gray and his Spacemakers. Housed in a super cool XL5 picture sleeve!)

Tracklisting: Barry Gray's soundtrack LP to the 1962 series “Fireball XL5” from Gerry and Sylvia Anderson will be released on vinyl early in 2021 on Silva Screen Records, the next in a series of Anderson releases which has so far featured UFO, Supercar and Thunderbirds. This 7” single features two tracks from the upcoming album: Side 1 - Fireball (Don Spencer and the XL5), Side 2 - Zero G (Barry Gray and his Spacemakers) Don Spencer's original 7" single release on His Masters Voice in 1962 reached number 32, remaining in the UK charts for twelve weeks. The original B side was another Don Spencer track, "I'm All Alone Again", replaced on this release with "Zero G". Fireball XL5 was set in 2062 and followed the exploits of the eponymous spaceship commanded by Colonel Steve Zodiac of the World Space Patrol. It was produced, like most other Anderson productions, in Supermarionation, using puppetry techniques that captured the imagination of a generation. Barry Gray collaborated with the Andersons on all the Supermarionation series, his jazzy style supplemented by the use of an electronically augmented keyboard, the Ondes Martenot, creating the other-worldly atmosphere which became synonymous with the sci-fi series Side 1 - Fireball (Don Spencer and the XL5) Side 2 - Zero G (Barry Gray and his Spacemakers)
BARRY GRAY UFO (Rare 2004 UK Limited Edition 18-track LP pressed on Clear Vinyl, featuring Mr Gray's compositions for Gerry Anderson's iconic [and very cool] Sci-Fi series. Jam-packed with incidental music and, most importantly, the main theme!

BARRY GRAY Thunderbirds (2020 UK/EU limited edition 37-track 2-LP set pressed on Sky Blue Vinyl. Gatefold picture sleeve featuring all the characters from International Rescue that youknow and love! Sealedwith a rice-paper obi. Following releases of the UFO and Supercar soundtracks, Thunderbirds is the third in the series from Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's iconic TV shows. It is newly compiled, mastered and designed by thecreative teamat Fanderson

Tracklisting: (The Official Gerry and Sylvia Anderson Appreciation Society), who have access to Barry Gray's original studio tapes. The album features 37 tracks from 19 episodes (series 1 and 2), including the Thunderbirds main theme and closing titles. The tracks were not programmed to follow the episode order but to achieve an integrated listening experience. The best bits of the sixties' soundscapes are here. The Thunderbirds soundtrack is an effective time capsule as Gray's music veers into British spy genre, Latin pop, exotica, urban jazz and military marches. Beautifully composed and conducted, the score reflects the moods of the scenes, from dangerous to romantic and no-nonsense to silly. F-A-B !)ŢŢBarry Gray was a classically trained composer and a versatile musician, and was amongst the first composers to use electronic instruments in music for television. Best known for creating the music for most of the Gerry & Sylvia Anderson television series in the 1960's and 70's (Fireball XL5, Thunderbirds, UFO, Space:1999), Barry Gray's complete musical opus is still not commercially available in its entirety.
BARRY GRAY The Secret Service (2023 UK limited edition 14-track LP pressed on Grass Green Coloured Vinyl, the original television soundtrack to the 1969 Gerry Anderson production, with music by Barry Gray.Gatefold picture sleeve with images from the TV series and track notes inside, rice paper obi & hype sticker)

Tracklisting: The origins of the series The Secret Service began in 1968 whilst working at Pinewood Studios, Gerry Anderson bumped into a familiar face of stage and screen: comic actor Stanley Unwin. With his whimsical charm and hilarious gibberish double talk (playfully christened ‘Unwinese’) Unwin had earned great popularity throughout the 50s and 60s and the Anderson's immediately knew that they had found someone to base their next puppet series on. For several years, the Century 21 team had toyed with directly basing a puppet character on a real-life actor, now the time had come to make it a reality. Duly, the Andersons developed a premise around Unwin, returning to their ‘unlikely spy’ scenario which had worked so well with Joe 90, they created ‘Father’ Unwin, a kindly priest who, despite outwardly disappearing into whimsy, doubles as a determined agent for British Intelligence. In the series the lines would be blurred even further between the miniature Supermarionation world and reality, as live action footage of Stanley Unwin would also be used in the series. To appropriately reflect the The Secret Service’s premise and compliment the gentle title sequence created to introduce the series, Barry Gray decided step completely away from his usual attention-grabbing themes and write a three-part fugue in the style of the Baroque composer Bach. To perform the vocals, the Mike Sammes Singers were hired, the vocal group who Gray had used on the Supercar theme back in 1961. Once coupled with soft organ and minimalist percussion, a truly unique piece of inventive music was born to bookend Father Unwin's adventures, which perfectly captured the off-beat nature of the series.
