In the early 1960s, when television was still in its infancy, pioneering
               producer Irwin Allen introduced the most lavish and expensive television
               shows up to that time.  These fantastical science-fiction programs came
               complete with grand, exciting musical orchestrations by those who would
               become the most prolific composers of the Twentieth Century.  For the first
               time ever, the classic scores for Irwin Allen's television classics are
               featured together in the historic six-disc box set FANTASY WORLDS OF
               IRWIN ALLEN, released by GNP Crescendo Records, the sci-fi
               soundtrack giant who has released virtually every Star Trek soundtrack.
               Legendary composers Alexander Courage and George Duning, as well as
               Oscar winners Jerry Goldsmith and John Williams and others converse on
               the package to create music that is literally out of this world.
               
               On Disc One, music from Lost In Space, John Williams sets the
               mood with the premiere episode to what would become the most
               recognizable sci-fi show in history.  As a lonely spaceship dodges the deadly
               rockets of alien enemies and barrels through outer space, lost on a crash
               course to nowhere, Williams' quirky melody blasts the screen, propelled
               by brass with wild flute lines and an electric tonality.  Disc Two includes
               several L.I.S. episodes with exotic themes ranging from haunted
               lighthouses to talking vegetables.
               
               Disc Three features tunes from Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea,
               where on our own planet, a sea vessel plunges into the deep, dark
               unknown, encountering unimaginable beasts of danger.  Inventive
               supercomposer Jerry Goldsmith, on the cutting edge of the day's musical
               technology, engages viewers with a dark and foreboding, theme, full of
               brass and percussion as well as pre-synthesizer keyboards to produce
               highly effective sonorities that reflect the mysteries of the deep and the
               drama of the moment.
               
               Brave explorers embark upon a massive gateway on Disc Four, a
               channel through which they journey through The Time Tunnel to find
               untold adventure and peril.  There, John Williams incorporates a steady,
               clock-like rhythm into his distinctive score of woodwinds, electric bass and
               grand cymbal crashes.
               
               Travelers find a new world on Disc Five, a Land of the Giants
               where immense inhabitants dwarf them to insignificance and challenge
               their very existence.  In this score, hints of danger in the theme quickly
               segue to a rhythmic, upbeat sound featuring French horns and propulsive
               percussion to chronicle cosmic phenomena and the crash landing and to
               create an eerie atmosphere, foreshadowing the suspense and excitement
               Allen would later use for his big-screen disaster epics.
               
               These are the FANTASY WORLDS OF IRWIN ALLEN.  As a
               special bonus, GNP Crescendo Records has also included Disc Six, which
               features alternative main title themes, an extensive 38-track sound effects
               library, vintage radio spots and interviews with original cast members, and
               special Rock musical performances by Bill Mumy (Will Robinson).
               
               Each CD includes an extensive collection of classic photos and
               informative liner notes that tell the unique stories of Allen's (Television)
               Worlds.  This historic archive of treasures is packaged in a space-age
