There are more Captain Scarlet mini albums here (all of the five which were released):   https://archive.org/details/mini-albums-captain-scarlet This series caused mayhem at ITV in the 1960s, panicking its executives, over fears that children might imitate the antics of Captain Scarlet, who becomes indestructible. Fearing that children might believe they could imitate this, ITV made changes to the show when it was re-run in the 1970s. The 1967 mini album recordings were released before any changes were made by ITV. Modern releases of this show on VHS and DVD do not use the changed versions of the episodes. But for many years it was difficult to obtain the original versions, as featured on these mini albums. There are also a collection of novels, released in 1967, based on the tv show:   Captain Scarlet paperbacks by John Theydon

This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
