Hi Paul
As I was going through my stuff I came upon some of my 2001 bits and pieces. Seeing as how they tried to tie the movie in with the PROJECT SWORD toys I thought this may be of interest (above) - A July 25th 1969 pressing of the classic piece of music now so closely associated with 'Space' in one form or another. I have other bits too like the press brochure for the movie and the gorgeous silver brochure available in foyers. The one I have is actually the one bought for me as a 4 year old kid!! I have some Aurora model kit ads too forthe Clipper and the Moonbus.

Excellent Jim! Thanks for sharing. The 2001/SWORD connection is fascinating. I read that Stanley Kubrick approached Gerry A to do the effects for 2001 but he didn't want to deviate from his own TV shows (GA Biography, Simon Archer). We have touched on this relationship before on the blog - like the SWORD Annual, Hatchet's Night Club and press coverage but any further info, particularly pictures of the SWORD CINEMA FOYER DISPLAYS, would be just wonderful. Woodsy.
Jim, do you have a digital recording of this record? I'm curious about the music for the T.V. Apollo Moonshot Programmes.
