1970s TV star David McCallum has passed away.

A formative but almost-forgotten part of my youth. I remember him in the TV show Sapphire and Steel (time-travelling super-agents, ‘gothic horror meets TV sci-fi’) and in The Man from U.N.C.L.E. spy-thriller movies as shown on TV.

Sapphire and Steel is a British sci-fi show which I (and most others) had forgotten, but I vaguely recall enjoying it a lot… and I may well revisit it now.

Anyway, David McCallum also recorded vinyl L.P. records of Lovecraft tales, for the Caedmon label. As you might expect, these are now on Archive.org…

“The Rats in the Walls”
“The Dunwich Horror”
“The Haunter of the Dark”
