Fanderson releases Space:1999 Year Two Soundtrack
http://fanderson.org.uk/gerryandersonnews/2016/05/fanderson-releases-space199-year-two-sountrack/
Fanderson has confirmed the release date of its Space:1999 40th Anniversary Year Two Soundtrack CD. This lavish product will be available from 1st June 2016.
Fully updated and remastered from Fanderson’s double-CD release in 2000, this 4-CD album runs for approximately four and a half hours and contains music from Space:1999 Year Two episodes, as well as the compilation films Destination Moonbase Alpha and Cosmic Princess.
The release features new library tracks and archive material courtesy of composer Derek Wadsworth. The set is complemented by a sumptuous full-colour 40-page booklet and a special 40th Anniversary slipcase.

Unless they're under contract to never sell to non-members, it's too bad they dont simply make an extra 500 copies to sell at a higher price to non-members.
As I said above, they are completely forbidden by the terms of their licensing agreement with ITV to sell to non members. Part of the reason was so that commercial releases of the music would not be totally stifled in the future.

Sorry, I see you've had to say it every other post.
So ITV said members-only, or not at all? Does that make business sense?
Well, it obviously does to ITV.
Fanderson have a very favourable licensing agreement which IIRC means they do not have to pay a licencing fee on their merchandise (be it CDs or anything else). And in return, so that any future commercial releases are still viable, they are strictly limited to selling to members (and that's not just CD's, but all of their merchandise).
Silva Screen did one volume of the Year One music and one of the second, which were the 'commercial' versions, if you like. I assume they didn't sell well enough to issue further volumes.
Every time Fanderson issues a CD, this matter comes up. If commercial releases aren't forthcoming, it's not really Fanderson's fault. Or ITV's, come to think of it*. Let's be honest, allowing Fanderson to sell to all and sundry wouldn't hugely increase ITV's coffers and I'm sure there are issues other than the money they'd get anyway 
* Although I understand ITV's commercial licensing fees are not exactly cheap...

Has there been a CD of music from Supercar, Fireball XL-5 and Stingray, including their theme songs?
Yes, yes and yes (double CD set in the case of Stingray).

Fanderson's first edition of Space: 1999 Year Two 2-CD set (2000)
Disc 2 features an oddity in track #23 entitled "Space: 1999 end titles" listed as a 32 seconds track.
Actually, the track lasts 7 minutes 58 with a gap of silence of 2 minutes and then at 2 mins 33 the music resumes starting with Maya's transformation sound effects.
¶ Any thoughts?
I think that was an 'easter egg' comprised of a few odds and ends that didn't presumably fit elsewhere. And were mono, IIRC.

I'd just like to see Doppelganger. That, space 1999,and ufo is why I've been a member for so many years. Feel like financed DOPPELGANGER CD with membership fees.
Not sure it would be within Fanderson's ability to release that one; I'm pretty sure it falls outside the ATV/ITC properties that are covered by their merchandising licence with ITV (it being a Universal film?). I'm sure someone will try and do it one day, presuming the tapes exist. I'm sure I read that the Barry Gray Estate has some of the material in varying degrees of quality, but whether those cues are from the actual master tapes, I'm less certain.

I wonder if part of the agreement would be that, if ITV decided to do a commercial release in the future, they get to use the releases put out by Fanderson and capitalise on the improvements and hard work put in by the club?
