BARRY GRAY Supercar (2020 UK limited edition 20-track
double album 2-LP pressed on Sherbet Lemon Vinyl - a much
sought-after soundtrack, this new version from Silva Screen
contains much never-before-released material. Supercar was
the second Gerry Anderson show to use the Supermarionation
technique. An impressive thirty-nine episodes were produced
between 1961 and 1962, so Barry Gray had to produce the
music fast and on a limited budget. He composed a series of
themes for locations, situations and characters. The main star
of the show, Supercar, is given the heroic theme, whilst the
rest of the score veers between charmingly whimsical to
support the dialogue and menacing when underlining the
drama. The forty-piece orchestra was conducted by Gray
himself. Gatefold picture sleeve with a hype-stickered rice
paper belly-band)
