1993 Theme From Captain Scarlet And The Mysterons CD The Total Record Co. CD BASS 1 promo CD single, release date 29 nov 1993 tracks played by Cloud–Bass
1994 The A–to–Z of British TV Themes Vol 2 CD Play 006 the only compilation record at the time containing a Four Feather Falls track
1995 This is Cult Fiction CD Virgin VTCD 59
1996 TV greatest hits (Vol 5) 60’s and 70’s 2 CD TVT 1200
1996 Cliff Richard at the Movies 2 CD EMI 7243 8 52790 2 7 collection of songs sung by Cliff Richard in various movies, including Thunderbirds are Go
1996 Thunderthemes are go CD Castle Communication Plc CD SUMCD 4104 includes all 8 tracks from "No Strings Attached" and a further 12 non–Barry Gray themes.
1997 This is... Cult Fiction Royale 2 CD Virgin VTDCD 151 this compilation is popular because it also contains the title theme to The Protectors (not by Barry Gray), CD1 track 14 Avenues and Alleyways (3:18 vocal Tony Christie)
1997 The Shadows at Abbey Road CD EMI 7243 8 23042 2 7 collection of odd tracks recorded at Abbey Road
1997 Cult Files Reopened 2 CD Silva Screen FILMXCD 192 American release: SSD 1085 all tracks are played by the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra and in different arrangements conducted by Nic Raine and Derek Wadsworth (of Space 1999 Year 2 fame)
1999 The A to Z of Fantasy Film Themes 2 CD Silva Screen RVPMCD 806 only the small print shows they are not originals and mostly performed by the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra. Some are conducted by Derek Wadsworth (of Space:1999 Year 2 fame). Many tracks are suites of themes from a series. All sci–fi tracks also feature on "The Cult Files–Reopened".
1999 Gerry Anderson’s Evocation CD EMI 7243 4 96612 2 6 odd collection of themes presumably selected by Gerry Anderson. It contains the end title march of "Thunderbirds are Go" (now also available on the 2014 release of its almost complete soundtrack) as well as the Lavender Castle theme (not by Barry Gray but Crispin Merrill) that has sofar not been released.
2000 Space 3 – beyond the final frontier 2 CD Silva Screen FILMXCD 332 non–original versions by the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra but up to 2018 (when Fanderson released the original soundtrack to the film) it was the only known CD to contain a suite of Doppelgänger music (not a very faithful rendition at that)
2001 Thunderbirds CD Tokuma Communications TKCA–72161 Japanese release, re–issue of the Japanese 1992 "Thunderbirds" CD Apollon APCF 5117, which was also released in the UK by Silva Screen Records, under the new title of "FAB – Music from the TV Shows by Barry Gray"
2002 Thunderbirds BGM for TV Program CD Tokuma Communications Japan TKCA–72328 re–issue of "Thunderbirds BGM" by Imai in 1992, supplied with a bonus DVD containing a small set of commercials for Imai Thunderbirds toys
2002 100 Greatest TV Themes 4 CD Silva Screen Records PMCD 807 compilation of rendition themes mostly by City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra. Joe 90 lifted from "Cult Files Reopened", looks like an extended version of "Battlestar Galactica – The A–Z of Fantasy TV Themes"
2003 UFO 2 CD Neoplexx NPPX–20 Japanese release overlaps with Fanderson CD release but has other tracks. Reasonably faithful to the original incidental music, but definitely a rendition of these. CD1 has 41 tracks. Oddly track 2 is a Thunderbirds March (not original, used in Japan during Interceptor launches). CD 2 has 41 tracks, including one that seems an extended Doppelgänger Sleeping Astronauts theme. Music could easily have fitted on 1 CD
2005 ITV 50 Cult Themes 2 CD Granada Media Group/Virgin Records VTDCD 748, 49 tracks of TV Themes, many identical to "This is... cult fiction royale"
2005 Tribute to Thunderbirds CD Shinsha Organization VPCC–84434 without a doubt one of the most unusual, and some may say bizarre, collections of cover versions of the Thunderbirds theme and some incidentals, by a wide variety of Japanese artists
2011 British Teen Rarities 1960–1965 MP3 Rare Rockin Records Google Play records contains the track "Robot man" from the single of 1963
2014 UFO/Space 1999 7" single Record Shack RS.45–007 T.P.S. (The Preservation Society)
