Description
Gerry Andersons Vintage A Century 21 Production - Fireball XL5 Journey To The Moon - 33RPM Mini Album - 21 Minutes Of Adventure, Vinyl Record, Vintage 1965
Released by Century 21 Records in 1965 as part of their Fireball XL5 Story Range. The story sees Steve Zodiac, Venus and the cast relive the fascinating adventure of Project Apollo. Here in accurate detail the whole story is told from the moment the massive Saturn V rocket lifts off from its launch pad to the landing of the Lunar Excursion Module (LEM) on the moon.
The 7" vinyl is in fantastic condition, which is amazing when you consider it is now 56 years old. The vinyl is good and plays very well with no sticking or jumping and no scratching. The cover is also in very good condition, it is clean and bright and very colourful with hardly any visual signs of wear. A truly fantastic Fireball XL5 Mini Album from half a century ago.
In 1965, the merchandising arm of AP Films entered into a partnership with Pye Records to establish a children’s audio label named Century 21 Records. Launching in October 1965, the label was one way fans could continue to enjoy Thunderbirds, Stingray and Captain Scarlet during that long week between new episodes (or, once the show went off the air, to fill the void left by their cancellation) thanks to the range of thirty-seven 7″ extended play vinyl records they would release over the next two years. For just eight shillings, you could choose one from an assortment of audio titles, each running to around twenty-one minutes. The bulk of the range’s output would be audio versions of the popular Supermarionation series that were then airing on television, with either narrated soundtracks of television episodes or brand new audio adventures proving equally popular. These releases would be extremely authentic to the television shows they were based on, incorporating many of the voice artists from their respective series as well as all the familiar sound effects and Barry Gray music viewers were familiar with.
