• In 1990 Silver Screen released the music from the English dub of the series by Robert Mellin and P,Reverberi on CD, the tracks were taken from tapes kept by Robert Mellin in Italy. An extended version was released in 1997, engineered by Mark Ayres, as more tapes had been found at Franco London Film in France. This version also featured Silva Screen's new recording of a suite of music from the series.
• In November 2011 Silva Screen Records released a special Limited Edition 7" vinyl single of the Theme Tune of 300 copies. Side 1 has the "Opening Title Theme" and also "The Main Theme". On side 2 is "Catching Dinner" and "Adrift" (SIL7 1376). Technically this was an E.P. (Extended Player) which played at 33rpm, not the standard 7 inch single speed of 45rpm. Unlike the original 1966 release which credits the recording to the Franco London Orchestra, this release credits the recording to The Robert Mellin Orchestra.
