Space: 1999 recording sessions between 1973 and 1974. Originally released in 1975.
The first season was co-produced by the British television ITC and the Italian television RAI, while the second season was only produced by ITC.
Space: 1999 was a British science-fiction television series of the mid-'70s executive-produced by Gerry Anderson (whose previous work included the series Fireball XL-5 and Thunderbirds) about a lunar space colony starring Martin Landau and Barbara Bain (both of Mission: Impossible fame). The series ran two seasons (26 episodes) and was syndicated in the U.S. For the scoring, Anderson turned to Barry Gray, a favorite composer of his. But, according to annotator Ralph Titterton, "the Musician's Union had enforced regulations that allowed Gray to score only five episodes in each 13," presumably to spread out TV work to more union members, and since Gray did not work on the second season, those five episodes -- "Matter of Life and Death," "Breakaway," "Black Sun," "Ring Around the Moon," and "Another Time, Another Place" -- constitute his only work for the series (and, as it happens, his final scoring work for films and television). That music makes up the bulk of this soundtrack album, although a host of other composers also contribute. Actually, Gray's writing sounds even more impressive than usual in the context of these interpolations. His extended suites, usually employing large orchestras, are the only music here that doesn't sound like it was just dashed off for a TV series. Rather, it sounds like good film music, full of emotion and nuance. Not that Gray is above coming up with short, lively rock music; this he does particularly in the main theme, co-written with Vic Elms (the former singer of the rock group Christie and Anderson's son-in-law). But for the most part, the gimmicky stuff is left to the likes of Giampiero Goneschi, whose music for the "Force of Life" episode is full of synthesizer blips, Jim Sullivan's sitar music for "The Troubled Spirit," and Elms and Alan Willis' wah-wah guitar music (think Shaft in space) for "Ring Around the Moon," although Paul Bonneau and Serge Lancen's music for "The Testament of Arkadia" is effective orchestral/choral scoring. (This nearly 80-minute CD released Silva Screen Records in 2005 is not to be confused with the much shorter LP of Space: 1999 soundtrack music released by RCA Victor Records in the mid-'70s.)

RIP Commander John Koenig.
There’s a fascinating interview with the late Barry Gray on the Jamie Anderson podcast - what a genius to compose some of the most memorable TV theme tunes of all time.
Another great intro theme by Barry Gray for Space 1999 season 1. Far superior to 2nd season theme
Chris Thornley;: That's right, and the truth without underestimating the composer of the theme of Year 2, Derek Wadsworth, every time I heard both melodies, I felt I was in Las Vegas watching the show of Siegfried & Roy with those intros. Cheers!

Chris Thornley Barry Gray was a snob to writer guitarist Vic Elmes who wrote performed guitar riff because he wasn't 'classically trained had been in pop bands previous'. Which is why Vic's name appears as 'Associate'. Gray refused to acknowledge VE's writing portion. However Vic always remained the gentleman in it all other than stating Gray treated him badly during his time involved in S1999.
Season 2 was a decline of the show many items. Including music.
I want this played at my funreal when it comes!
I want to go to your funreal too. I guess that the misspelling was on purpose.
FUNREAL ?
When it gets to the bit where the Eagle crashes and explodes the coffin is dropped from the roof and blowes up
I love series 1, and I remember they used to broadcast on ITV for Saturday nights at 5:50 pm, before they put it on Saturday mornings at 11:30 pm before World of Sport came on, and also appeared on Saturday schedules in the 1980`s, as well as on Friday nights on BBC 2 in the 1990`s, and now they still screened both series on Horror Channel weekdays as well as back to back episodes on Saturdays from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm, with great theme music composed and performed by Barry Gray, and I still got both series on CD and DVD, and still brings me back memories of Saturday morning programmes when it used to be like.
I really liked this series. Season 1 was better than Season 2.
No dislikes. Let's keep it that way.
I hope so. Thank you very much and Cheers!
You had to say it man... theres always that one dick
Its impossible on Any video not to get some dislikes,because of the kids the misclicks and so,on but the insignificant % of dislikes is the best thing you can hope for and it seems rightfully so,for this truly amazing Theme !
I WON'T LET YOU DOWN!!!
Theme still has affected awesome next to star trek love it favorite sci fi shows
Ah, my childhood.
I thought it looked so much better than Star Trek when it came out.
While watching this show for references, I found this opening theme music so fascinating that I had to track it down. It really caught the moment of the time with freedom versus constraint!
A lot went into the set design and signage of Space: 1999. Just like Gerry Anderson’s earlier supermarionation shows Space: 1999 had a very consistent production value.
I really like the first ten seconds or so. This is as good as the 2001 space odyssey theme.
Barry Gray we salute you!
Happy 20th Anniversary!! Comet TV is running a marathon today. WOO HOO!!
1:38 - God damn one eyed carwash monster scarred me for life (I was 7 when I saw that episode). It would have been no problem if he just ate his victims, but barfing out charred bodies distorted my brain.
I was the same age and I was terrified too. I had nightmares for weeks... But I loved this TV series, it was amazing!
I rushed over here to repair my brain after listening to the alt Ennio Morricone theme. Phew.
Absolutely bad ass
your timing with the graphics feels like the show opening.... great use of "on this episode"!
Your research is phenomenal.
use to watch the program on saturday afternoons on CBC then on sunday afternoon same channel same time
era mi serie favorita cuando tenia 12 añitos
God I love this theme.
Needs season 2 theme. Awesome.
Glorious!
INSPIRATIONAL
That bass guitarist must of had sore fingers after that. Lol....
I trust that was Chris Lee having a cup of tea

Good underrated sci fi show.
Unfairly compared to tos star trek.
It wasn't underrated.. its just old. I used to watch it as a kid, it was quite popular then.. and still now somewhat.
Season 1 was pretty successful, but then they ruined it with Season 2 🤢
Does anyone know where the full orchestra sheet music of this can be found?
How did they cope with the Van Allen radiation belts?
Oo
Ben bunu normal goşullarda yerden galdırmam da işte sizle röportaj yapıyos ya ondan bıraıkıyom
Ed ecco Roberto che ridiventa bambino
Loved Season 1 and hated Season 2! They replaced Professor Bergman with that Maya and it was real crap!
Maya is hilarious, though. Just watched one where she changed into a gerbil, very amusing
