Book and CD store
In association with the fine folks at

I can offer some of the books and CDs I have enjoyed...
Having ordered many of the items listed below from Amazon myself I can vouch that they reached me OK here in the UK. I only paid the basic postage for the books and CDs (around $6) and the books take about a month to arrive, the CDs around 2 weeks. All the items are packed very securely. If you are looking for books which are out of print and unavailable from Amazon, scroll down to the bottom of the page as I now have a search box for Abebooks which is the world's largest marketplace for out of print books.

Soundtracks
Compilations
Television's Greatest Hits - One of the first series of compilations of television theme tunes, it now stands at seven volumes.
Volume One - Some excellent television themes are on this CD, including The Lone Ranger, Man from U.N.C.L.E., Addams Family, Dragnet, Superman among others. But why are some of the tracks not original - Mission Impossible and The Munsters being among them.
Volume Two - Continuing the series with some more excellent tunes: Car 54 Where Are You?, Time Tunnel, I Spy, The Green Hornet, Spider-Man. They also include The Outer Limits, but have put on the theme from the second b&w season which in my opinion is not as good as the theme to the first season.
Volume Three, 70's & 80's - If you were a fan of the main television series during these two decades then this CD is for you. Among my choices here are: Hart to Hart, Starsky & Hutch, Simon & Simon, Magnum, and The Rockford Files.
Volume Four - Black & White Classics - This title goes back and cover some of the shows the first couple of CDs missed. Among them are: Burke's Law, The Untouchables, The Fugitive, Johnny Staccato.
Volume Five - In Living Color - 60s and 70s shows are predominantly covered here, including: Thunderbirds, Six Million Dollar Man, Kolchak, The Invaders.
Volume Six - Remote Control - 70s and 80s shows are covered by this title, including: Police Squad, Moonlighting, Soap, Benson, Matt Houston, TJ Hooker, Knight Rider, The Incredible Hulk, The New Twilight Zone.
Volume Seven - Cable Ready - The final entry in the series so far, this includes more recent shows like: The Simpsons, Ren & Stimpy, Seinfeld, Sledge Hammer, The Equalizer, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Lois & Clark, Tales From the Crypt.
Sci-Fi's Greatest Hits - The makers of the Television's Greatest Hits series with the Sci-Fi Channel have brought us four volumes which include themes from television shows and movies.
Volume One - Final Frontier - This first CD covers lots of familiar ground like the Star Wars themes (not the originals, but very good interpretations), Star Trek (which sounds like the animated version to me), Star Trek: The Next Generation. Also includes some neglected themes like Space: Above & Beyond, Battlestar Galactica.
Volume Two - The Dark Side - More horror and suspense orientated, with the themes from The Outer Limits (both b&w and colour series), The Twilight Zone, The Prisoner and quite a good version of The X-Files.
Volume Three - The Uninvited - With fewer tracks than the other titlees in the series, and clips from the famous Orson Welles "War of the Worlds" radio broadcast included, this may seem like they were padding this one. However, there are many excellent themes in here, including: Mars Attacks!, Predator, Jaws, Gremlins, UFO.
Volume Four - Defenders of Justice - The final entry in the series includes such super hero themes as: Batman (the 60s television, the 80s film and the recent animated series are all covered), The Flash, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (the animated series), RoboCop (both film and television series), The Terminator.
Star Trek
Best of Star Trek 30th Anniversary Special - Contains some good (and some not quite so good) tracks from all of the series.
Best of Star Trek Volume Two - More of the above.
Star Trek Volume 1 - Tracks from the original series.
Star Trek Volume 2 - More tracks from the original series, worth a look at.
Star Trek Volume 3 - The last CD (so far) from GNP/Crescendo of tracks from the original series.
Star Trek Volumes 1-3 - You can get all three titles as a boxed set.
Star Trek Sound Effects - These are effects from the original series. Not worth buying unless you are desperate for a sound effect which you cannot find on the many hundreds of Star Trek web sites.
Star Trek Volume 1 (Fred Steiner) - Fred Steiner was the composer who wrote most of the familiar original series snippets of music that you would recognise on Trek.
Star Trek Volume 2 (Fred Steiner) - More of Fred Steiner's excellent work.
Star Trek: The Motion Picture 20th Anniversary Collector's Edition - Not only does this excellent CD contain Jerry Goldsmith's marvellous score to the mediocre film (parts of this score was later adapted as the TNG main theme), but there is also a bonus CD containing material released on an album released in the 1970s featuring many of the original cast.
Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan - The score to what many consider to be the best film with the original cast.
Star Trek: The Search for Spock - The third film to feature the original cast.
Star Trek: The Voyage Home - The score to probably the most successful Star Trek film to date.
Star Trek V: The Final Frontier - This was also done by Jerry Goldsmith, who wrote the excellent score to the first film. Unfortunately he used most of the same score again for this film... so get the score for the first film and you more or less have the score to this film as well.
Star Trek: The Undiscovered Country - In my opinion, this is the second best score in the film series, second only to Jerry Goldsmith's orignal score for the first film.
Star Trek: The Next Generation Volume 1 - Originally Jerry Goldsmith was hired to write a brand new score for this new series... unfortunately it took Jerry too long and by the time he had finished it the executives at Paramount went ahead with a version of the score originally created for the first movie.
Star Trek: The Next Generation Volume 2 - Contains the music to probably the best TNG episodes: "Best of Both Worlds".
Star Trek: The Next Generation Volume 3 - Third in the series featuring music from the TNG series.
Star Trek: The Next Generation Volumes 1-3 - The first three CDs as a boxed set.
Star Trek: The Next Generation Volumes 4 - A couple of years after TNG ended on television, GNP/Crescendo released this fourth CD based on what episodes fans wanted to hear the music from.
Star Trek: Generations - The film which finds Picard and Kirk fighting against Soran... surprisingly it does not feature anywhere the tune that Jerry Goldsmith wrote which appeared in the very first Star Trek film or later in the TNG series.
Star Trek: First Contact - The second film featuring the TNG crew, this time against the Borg. This enhanced CD also features an amusing game where you have to try and keep yourself from becoming a Borg.
Star Trek: Insurrection - The latest Star Trek film score.
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Emissary - In my opinion, the main theme to this series is probably the worst of the franchise... but the series is one of the best in terms of storylines.
Star Trek: Voayger Caretaker - Realising what a mistake they made with the DS9 theme... Paramount wisely got Jerry Goldsmith back to compose the main theme to this series... and a fine job he did with it.
Batman
Batman theme - The 1960s television theme by Neal Hefti.
Batmania: Songs inspired by the Batman tv series - A fantastic CD featuring oddball music - I wish they would do a second volume with the track featuring Burt Ward as Robin which they unfortunately missed on this one.
Batman - The score to the smash hit 1989 movie by Danny Elfman.
Batman Returns - As does Danny Elfman with a great follow up score.
Batman Forever - No Danny Elfman this time, but still a very good score (even if the film was not!).
Batman: Mask of the Phantasm - A fantastic score by Shirley Walker based on the neglected animated film.
Batman Beyond - Music from the futuristic animated series.
Batman Beyond: Return of The Joker - Music from the futuristic animated movie.
Irwin Allen
Lost In Space Volume 3 - Continuation of the themes from this series.
DVD
Mr Wong - Boris Karloff stars.
Fantomas - french language serial - said to have inspired many of the American serials of the 1930s to 1950s
