Notes

Phase 4 Stereo was a recording process created by the UK Decca Records label in 1961, the process featuring on 1960s and early 1970s Decca recordings and those of its American subsidiary London Records. Phase 4 Stereo recordings were made with an innovative 10- and later 20-channel recording console. The multi-channel console outputs for Phase 4 recordings were originally made on then novel 4-track tape, but the innovation was in how the process maximised the technology. In recording techniques of the early to mid 1960s, to get the sort of layered sound heard in Phase 4 recordings, multiple overdubs over multiple reels of tape were employed, bouncing down and across to different recorders. This increased the level of tape hiss on the final master, something which Phase 4 engineers wanted to avoid. They achieved in one pass what everybody else was achieving with multiple overdubs. About two hundred albums were released that utilised the process, including popular music, gimmick records engineered to make the sound travel from speaker to speaker, records featuring percussion effects, and historical sound effect records. The label was a major financial success for Decca.
This LP was reissued on heavyweight 180g vinyl in replica packaging by Decca in 2017 with an identical catalogue number.

Side B:

B6. South of the Border

Notes

Not a TV Themes Collection at all, rather an Easy Listening collection, but Ivor Slaney's Carlos' Theme from The Sentimental Agent is there in the mix with standards like It's Not Unusual, The Last Waltz and Strangers in the Night!
Les Reed is also known in ITC circles for his cover version of The Saint, credited inconsistently as The Les Reed Strings or The Les Reed Brass. Clearly by 1968 he had tired of all the confusion around his identity and had opted for the catch-all The Les Reed Sound!
This album was pressed in Mono (DML 709) and Stereo (SML 709) versions.

Notes

This album was a reissue of the 1967 Fontana LP of the same title (SFL 13139), now on the budget Fontana Special label.
In accommodating the Fontana Special logo, which was larger than the Fontana one seen in the original design, the cover lost its ITC element as the Thunderbirds image was replaced with a repositioned photograph of Robert Vaughan as The Man from U.N.C.L.E.'s Napoleon Solo. We can take some solace knowing that a few years down the line, Vaughan would be starring in ITC's The Protectors...

Notes

Tracks A1 (Tales of the Unexpected), A3 (Born and Bred), A4 (Malice Aforethought), B1 (Doctor Who), B3 ('When Love Grows Cold'), B4 (Paul Temple) and B6 (Tales of the Unexpected Disco Version) were Ron Grainer television theme or incidental music compositions. B2 (Love Theme from Rebecca) was a Grainer arrangement of a Claude Debussy composition.
The sole ITC representative on this album is Barry Gray's Joe 90 theme. Presumably it was a composition much liked by Grainer.
Tracks A6 (A Touch of Velvet, a Sting of Brass by Mark Wirtz) and B5 (Six by Six by Paul Riser and Tom Nixon) were instrumentals but are not thought to have been employed as television themes. There is certainly no annotation to this effect on the record sleeve or labels.

Notes

Despite this collection going out under the name of a rival ABPC TV series, it features a good number of ITC themes.
The inclusion of Man in a Suitcase in this compilation was as much for its then recent reuse as the theme of Channel 4's TFI Friday as for its original use.
Cyril Stapleton's arrangement of Edwin Astley's The Saint theme proves to be an interesting diversion from the standard theme. Meanwhile his version of Department S is comparatively faithful and really rather fabulous.
This 3 x LP boxset included a 91.44cm x 60.96cm (3ft x 2ft) double-sided sheet containing, on one side, a collage of merchandise and photographs, and on the other, liner notes by author Michael Richardson and a tracklisting.
