It�s Trevor Duncan all the way with this one. The bulk of the score comes from three suites: The Challenge of Space, Four Evil Men and Mutations. Filling in the gaps is a lone Paroxysm, used in parts one and two when things take a turn for the creepy, and the fantastic Vision from the final scene and closing credits. This last one is a sod to track down. In fact I haven�t, and this version�s been pulled from the DVD.
As usual there are a couple of unidentified tracks - neither of them major this time, and both �featured� music rather than incidental. Firstly, the TV breakdown music from part 6 is listed as With Noble Purpose on the production paperwork. A track called With Noble Purpose � Grand March is available but it�s not the one from Quatermass. With Noble Purpose might have been a suite (meaning we�re after a different track with the same name), or someone wrote down the wrong title altogether. Which would hardly be a first. [EDIT: The correct track is here (http://www.mediafire.com/download/n8hl30y7m5a5qw6/With+Noble+Purpose+%28Theme%29.zip)]
The other missing track is the NYTV ident, also from part 6, which could easily have come from a BBC sound effects disc, and, to be honest, I�m not losing any sleep about it.
One thing that�s missing altogether is the Radiophonic Workshop�s unused version of the theme tune. It still exists, along with 3 reels of sound effects, and I�d like them released today, please.
The running order mirrors the first appearance of each cue in the serial - almost. I�ve moved the second Foul Noises Sent by the Devil (it's a quote!) and The Killer - partly to reduce repetition, partly to better reflect the flow of the story. Sometimes I hate myself.
A few of these tracks have never had a CD release and are unfortunately from mp3. CD, vinyl and DVD sources have been used for the remainder.
EXTRA BITS
Also included is a rip of the Live From a Quarry CD � the soundtrack to the self-proclaimed �live hypertheatre spectacular� version from 1997. (They weren�t allowed to use the word �Quatermass� on the CD �cos the BBC can copyright a surname, apparently.) Anyway, it�s by the man who wrote Bob the Builder: Can We Fix It? Do not be alarmed � it�s great!
Also within is the last track from The Challenge of Space suite: Celestial Glory � it�s not featured in any of the Q serials, but it does appear to be a close blood relative of Cathedral: Vision. That Trevor Duncan had a sneaky way of recording the same track multiple times for multiple libraries�.
The Soundtrack to The Quatermass Experiment is here ( http://forums.ffshrine.org/f92/quatermass-experiment-bbc-1953-soundtrack-flac-193341/#post3044941).
And Quatermass II is here ( Thread 191161).
Not one of mine, but to complete the set here's feedthecats' very nice rip of Quatermass IV / The Conclusion / The ITV One from 1979 (Thread 192917).
