UFO Music

Gareth Bevan

Sorry for going over recently covered ground, but I deleted the e-mail with
the necessary info - could anyone send me the address of the guy who
produces the UFO soundtracks, and does anyone know how he's done it (ie from
the original master tapes, or straight from the episode soundtracks off the
TV)?

Thanks in advance.

The e-mail address is: [hidden email] (Harlington Straker Sound Studios)

The source of the recordings are tapes that Barry Gray made for fans in
the 1970's. So they are copies from Barry's personal reel-to-reel copies.
Unfortunately, in many cases the copies were made onto audio cassette,
so there's a big loss of sound quality there. However, at least there
is only one generation of audio-cassette loss here... in the 1980's, fans
were selling copies-of-copies-of copies, etc., which of course sounded
pretty bad when each generation was an audio-cassette!

This CD-R has been available for several years for
the cost of materials & postage, but unfortunately people have copied
it further and sold it on eBay, with final bid prices sometimes
being a couple hundred dollars!

Harlington-Straker Sound Studios also has similar quality soundtrack
recordings for Journey to the Far Side of the Sun, Thunderbirds,
Thunderbirds films, Joe 90, and Captain Scarlet. Good stuff to listen
to while we all wait for Fanderson to release higher quality/more complete
versions!

The E-mail addy is correct, but the "company" is Harlington-Straker
Sound Productions, mostly because we don't have a real studio! ;-)

Hey, at least it isn't multi-generational videos! Those would really be
awful!

I think the highest sale was $306! 8-\

Yeah, anyone heard anything more on their planned release on a UFO
soundtrack?



There was a space traveler named Wright
Who liked to go faster than light
He started one day
In a relative way
And came back the previous night!
