  • The two tracks taken from the BBC TV series Vendetta - A4 and B2 - were monoaural recordings whereas all other tracks were presented in stereo.

  • The cassette cover shows some very obvious paste up marks resulting from Roger Moore being cut out from the background and pasted lower in the frame and closer to Tony Curtis than in the square-format LP cover.

Notes

  • TV themes collection notable for including John Barry's theme to The Adventurer.

  • Barry's theme to Anglia Television's Orson Welles Great Mysteries is rather reminiscent of his theme to The Adventurer.

  • The running order on this audio cassette differs from the vinyl record, with Orson Welles Great Mysteries swapping places with The Strauss Family. This means that on the cassette the two John Barry tracks play consecutively.

  • Polydor also published this compilation on vinyl record (2842-240) and 8-track cartridge (3795-115).

STAR WARS AND OTHER SPACE THEMES -

Images: EMI Music for Pleasure

Released: January 1978
(source: 45worlds)
Publisher: EMI Music for Pleasure
Music by: Various Artists
Performed by: Geoff Love and his Orchestra
Cassette Type: Album
Catalogue No.: TC-MFP 50355
EAN: Not applicable
Design: Uncredited

Tracklisting

Side A:
A1. Star Wars - Main Title
A2. UFO
A3. Star Trek

Notes

  • Star Wars and Other Themes contained three ITC-related theme tunes, Thunderbirds, UFO and Space: 1999, which is quite a decent representation considering ITC's science fiction output was limited to Gerry Anderson series such as these.

  • The cover artwork seemed to be an exercise in copyright avoidance - depicting Star Wars heroes who looked nothing like Luke Skywalker or Princess Leia Organa and a USS Enterprise which was somewhat pimped up!
