Back in the days when theme tunes were never the same, as due to copyrights the closest you got to the original soundtrack was a cover version by “CY Payne & His Orchestra”
Twelve tracks, half of which are Barry Gray compositions, from Fireball XL5 to UFO. The cover version of the Joe 90 Pye single is nice enough, if a little slow in tempo.
