‘Captain Scarlet’ / ‘Thunderbirds’ / ‘UFO’ white vinyl seven-inch

For this month's Electronic Sound cover feature, we're taking a deep dive into the music of GERRY AND SYLVIA ANDERSON's sci-fi TV shows of the 1960s and 1970s, including 'Captain Scarlet', 'Thunderbirds', 'Fireball XL5', 'Joe 90', 'UFO' and 'Space: 1999'. Much of it was the work of cult British composer BARRY GRAY, a one-time RAF pilot who was recruited by Gerry Anderson in 1957. Captain Scarlet, the indestructible hero on the cover of this issue, wouldn’t have been the same without Gray's remarkable soundtracks.

To accompany the magazine, we've put together a hot white vinyl EP featuring six musical excerpts from three of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's shows. The A-side of 'Spectrum Of Sound' is dedicated to 'CAPTAIN SCARLET', starting with the footsteps and gunfire of the opening credits, before sliding into the eerie 'The Power Of The Mysterons' and ending with the memorable main theme. The other side of the record has the theme tunes of both 'THUNDERBIRDS' and 'UFO', plus a dramatic incidental segment from 'Thunderbirds' called 'Heading For The Sun'. 

“All of these different pieces show the breadth and variety in Barry Gray’s work,” says Nick Williams, the chairman of the Gerry and Sylvia Anderson fan club. “With the electronic tracks, we don't really know what’s going on with some of them. But that’s fitting because we don’t know who the aliens are, or what they’re about, or why they’re coming."

They are coming, though. You can be sure of that.

As with all of our music releases, this seven-inch is strictly limited and is only available to readers of Electronic Sound, so make sure you grab your copy right away.
