There are two new CDs just released which contain music from both of the original Thunderbirds movies. In addition, a "Fan pick" DVD set is now available in the US.
There were 124 bids and the winner got the car for a cool 80,000 pounds, about $147,300. The model is 8.5 feet long and 3 feet wide and has been on display many times, including the Blackpool exhibit.
Photos of the model and more details can be seen on this page on ebay.
This was good/bad timing for me as I just sold my house and could actually have won the auction if, that is, I no longer wanted to own another house later, or indeed stay married... Oh well, enjoy the car, zinc04, you lucky person.
TVZone magazine has just published a Gerry Anderson special - #57. It includes info on the new Captain Scarlet CGI show currently in production. See some of the interview here.
A second CD of Thunderbirds music is due out on July 19th. It is available from Amazon UK. The CD includes music from "30 minutes after noon", "End of the Road", "Duchess Assignment", "Terror in NYC" and "Give or Take a million". This looks to be an excellent CD.
Oxford University Press is publishing "Thunderbirds X-ray Cross-Sections", which features high quality computer art showing exploded views of the new Thunderbirds vehicles from the forthcoming movie. 7.99 paperback, but 6.99 HARDCOVER at Marks and Spencer.
If you are going to the San Diego comics convention this July, There will be a Thunderbirds fan gathering entitled "Thunderbirds Fans United are Go!". Will include a panel. July 23rd at 1:30pm, room 9 in the main convention building.
Bummer. The link to the new CGI trailer has been removed from the site. Sorry about that folks. If I get permission to host it here, I will let you know.
Varese Sarabande has plans to release Thunderbirds are Go! On CD once more. Whether this is the LP or also the Cliff Richard parts and/or never released incidental parts is unknown.
MGM USA will release a Thunderbird Six music CD. This will coincide with the release of the two films on DVD in America. The CD will contain all incidentals of the movie (approx. 45 min all together) as mono tracks.
It was high time - the soundtrack has been awaited for almost 40 years. It is a pity the album contains mono tracks only although the stereo masters still exist. So there is still room for improvement on a hopeful future release.
What really peeves me, personally, is that I went to the DeAgostini site several months ago and subscribed. I have yet to see a single issue! Nice one.
