Producers Ralph Titterton and Tim Mallett have assembled 40 tracks representing the best of TV and film music genius
Barry Gray, capturing some of the very best of his theme work that graced many classic 1960s shows produced in the UK.
Beginning with their earliest television programmes, Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's series featured the distinct musical compositions of Barry Gray, an unassuming but innovative genius who was responsible for the themes and incidental music for shows like
Thunderbirds,
Space: 1999,
UFO,
Stingray,
Joe 90,
Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons and more.
Some of the best of Gray's unforgettable music has been collected in one album by Silva Screen Records, available from 4 May
physical and
MP3 format. Many of the tracks have never been offered commercially before, with highlights including music from
The Secret Service and
UFO, different title themes and library tracks used for
Supercar and
Fireball XL5.
This release celebrates the career of one of television's greatest composers and features an extensive collection of music from 10 of his Gerry Anderson collaborations. Also included is unreleased material, newly discovered mixes and an extensive booklet packed with memorabilia and track by track notation from Barry Gray archivist Titterton.
