The first Thunderbirds-exclusive music record was the mini-album Great Themes from Thunderbirds (MA 116 originally titled Requested Themes from Thunderbirds), published by Century 21 Records in 1966. Incidental music was recorded over nine months between March and December 1965. As most of the music budget was spent on the series' earlier episodes, later instalments drew heavily on APF's ever-expanding music library. Ultimately, a variation of the march was used instead. The end titles were originally to have been accompanied by Flying High, a lyrical track sung by Gary Miller with backing by Ken Barrie. In response to Gerry Anderson's request that the main theme have a "military feel," Gray produced a brass-dominated piece titled The Thunderbirds March, which was recorded in December 1964 at Olympic Studios in London.
