Actually, the sounds on my "music and effects" page are NOT obscured
by dialog. However, they are certainly degraded by the mixing
process, music, volume changes, and truncations from editing.

I do have the "raw recording" of the UFO noise created by Barry
Gray, and I *think* that's what is featured on my sound effects
page. I don't think I have the raw recordings for anything else,
though... perhaps some electronics effects that Barry Gray did... (?)

That's just wishful thinking... :-) ...the soundtracks were
definitely done in mono, not stereo. Fanderson was able to
create stereo versions of the music because the had access to
the multi-track (4 track?) tapes.
