In September 1965 a dramatic countdown, 5-4-3-2-1, echoed on television sets across the United Kingdom. The steely voice of Jeff Tracy showcased a remarkable collection of spacecraft and an equally remarkable set of brothers. Thunderbirds were go! Producers Gerry and Sylvia Anderson had launched a programme that has now become part of the British psyche, embedded for all time in our culture. The leap from 30 minute episodes of previous productions Supercar, Fireball XL5 and Stingray into an hour long slot enabled their marionette puppetry to enter into a new miniature world packed with fully developed characters, a wide array of vehicles on the ground, air and sea plus a stunning repertoire of special effects.
A major beneficiary to these new extended adventures was accomplished regular, Anderson composer, Barry Gray, who now had the canvas to work his magic across a wider spectrum of drama, thrills and themes. From the cascading strings which dance around the melody of the main theme’s title march, to the brooding and foreboding brass which effortlessly added drama to many tense unfolding rescues, Barry Gray’s distinctive score composed for Thunderbirds is as much of a character in the series as one of the Tracy brothers.
This third release follows the success of the UFO and Supercar soundtracks issued in conjunction with Fanderson and brings together music from series one and two. Delving deep into the Barry Gray music archives, this collection of 37 tracks features a wide range of material from the composer’s original source tapes.

5.4.3.2.1…Thunderbirds Are Go!!
トラックリスト日本の特撮やアニメーションに多大な影響を与えた名プロデューサー、ジェリー・アンダーソンの最高傑作が遂に登場!
1965年9月、印象的な「5.4.3.2.1.」のカウントダウンで始まる番組がイギリスのテレビに響き渡った。
どこか固い無表情なジェフ・トレーシーの声で紹介が始まる番組には数々のスペースクラフトや登場人物が現れ、そしてサンダーバードは飛び立った。
日本でもファンが多い「サンダーバード」は、ジェリー&シルヴィア・アンダーソン夫妻が生み出したスーパーマリオネーション。何と言っても魅力なのは、インターナショナル・レスキューのトレーシー5兄弟が操縦するスーパーメカとメカが出動する基地となっているトレーシーアイランド。
そして臨場感&胸踊る音楽を手掛けるのは、ジェリー・アンダーソン作品でお馴染みのバリー・グレイ。
今回のアルバムはジェリー・アンダーソン公式ファンクラブ"ファンアンダーソン"の協力のもと、バリー・グレイの手元にあるアーカイブからありとあらゆる素材を取り寄せ、37曲に再構築したアルバム。
もちろん作家のオリジナルソースから作られたもので、これはファン必聴の1枚。
さらに16ページのオールカラーブックレット付!!
