Description:

Spaceship XL-5," an early work by Gerry Anderson, creator of Super Mario Nation, is finally here! Gerry Anderson, known for his "Thunderbirds" films, which have many fans in Japan, released "Spaceship XL-5" as a follow-up to his "Supercar" hit. The story takes place in the future, in an era when travel between Earth and other planets is commonplace. The Fireball XL-5 (Excel Five) and its crew, members of the World Space Patrol, continue their patrol to protect peace in the galactic universe. Pilot Colonel Steve Zodiac, Professor Matic, Dr. Venus, robot co-pilot Robert and other unique characters solve various problems while fighting aliens and space pirates who threaten the peace of the universe in this adventure story. The music is composed by Barry Gray, who is of course an essential part of Gerry Anderson's works. The score is full of Barry Gray verses with dynamic and heroic melodies. Don Spinner's lighthearted "Ending Theme" is also a must-hear.This is a re-edited version based on an album released in 2012 exclusively to members of Jerry Anderson's official fan club, Fanderson, and is a must-listen for fans.
