This is a relatively complete listing of all commercially available recordings of Barry Gray's music. The first table contains original recordings, and the second contains a list of reasonable attempts to emulate the music.

Tickets for the much anticipated Barry Gray Centenary Concert are now available. The event will be held in London at the Royal Festival Hall on Saturday, 8th November 2008. Guest of honour will be Gerry Anderson, ably assisted by the ever low-key Brian Blessed who will compere the event. Full details are in the complete press release, after the jump.

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.

As if to draw a line between the UK fans and the rest of the world, we now have this. People lucky enough to be in the London area on November 8 2008 will be able to attend the "Barry Gray Centenary Concert" at the Royal Festival Hall on the South Bank in London.

It will certainly be a major event for Anderson fans.

Full details after the jump. Lucky gits.

Yes, I know there is basically no time to respond to this one, as word only got out saturday.

When the Joe 90 CD was released in 2006, I conducted an interview with Ralph Titterton and Tim Mallet, the men behind the release of this Barry Gray CD and all the earlier official Barry Gray CDs.

Ralph has in his possession the entire Barry Gray music library on analog tapes. Tim Mallett is the audio technician who worked with Ralph to clean up the tapes, re-mix them and create new audio masters suitable for production of the CDs.

This exclusive interview provides a great deal of information about the music source and level of effort that went into the production of the CDs.
