was never used there. Here is the isolated music
track directly from the recording session.

The Paul Frees pre-show narration minus Mysteries of
the Atom.
*Note that tracks 3 and 4 played simultaneously in the
pre-show area.
Track 5. Pre-show "Music cues"
More Baker isolated music cues.
Track 6. Adventure thru Inner Space "Complete
Ride-thru"
The complete soundtrack to the attraction. Included
are the complete narration, music, and sound effects.

This spiel looped continuously from the Atomobiles'
speakers before entering the Mighty Microscope.
Track 9. Atomobile Narration "Isolated"

speakers at the end of the ride.
Track 11. Unused Post-show "Monsanto Display"

Notice that the song was re-edited with extra music
cues from
the pre-show added. It also removes the instrumental
ending.

to the 7" record. Labeled "instrumental,"
