Silva Screen in the UK will be releasing "Stand By For Action" the week of May 4. This compilation of Barry Gray tunes from the Gerry Anderson shows was originally intended for release around the time of the live concert in London last year. The 40 track compilation is fairly extensive, and does contain some rare tracks, but much of it will be familiar if the you have the other Barry Gray CDs released over the years. Rarities include tracks from UFO and Secret Service as well as alternate versions of music. For me, the cover makes the purchase worth it, and I would seriously consider buying a vinyl version if one became available, as it is very evocative of the 60s LPs.

For those who don't care for CDs, the album is also available as downloadable MP3 files. Prices on CD and MP3 versions are reasonable: £7.99 for MP3 and £9.99 for CDs.
