For starters, there absolutely needs to be a Stoney Burke TV series COMPLETE original soundtrack boxed set. Any first season OL TOS fan who loves Dom Frontiere’s music should know that there’s LOADS of music from the same cues and suites which John Elizalde drew from Frontiere’s library (which Quinn Martin had years earlier commissioned Dom to compile for use on future projects; fourth season Fugitive, Invaders) which were never heard anywhere but here. <br />https://www.amazon.com/Stoney-Burke-Complete-Jack-Lord/dp/B00AX5B0RY<br /><br />It’s sad that there will likely be fewer and fewer next gens ever bothering to review OL TOS even once, much less care to post their thoughts about it here. But before Frontiere’s pre-OL TV music library-if it does still exist-goes the way of the countless masters lost in Universal’s fire (however “accidental” that was), we owe it to ourselves and to posterity to persuade a reputable soundtrack label to have all of Dom’s Stoney Burke scoring expertly digitized and issued, if not in a CD boxed set then available as 24 bit downloads from the label or from stores like this one. https://www.hdtracks.com/<br /><br />I have my choice cuts/per scene/per episode in an Excel file for those interested.

A buddy on Ham radio back in the states was asking me if I knew of this episode, since I'm often asked about old TV and movies. For the life of me I couldn't remember the title of this one, and thus, got here from a search. Thanks for the fact filled fun! <br /><br />Marathons are a load of fun, and remember fondly when TNT (when they were a good station) aired their OL marathons, I think around Thanksgiving, as me and my buddies were in a college campus hotel in Massachusetts and videotaping it all while a party raged on. Ah, college days. ;) It was always fun when networks would go the extra mile in promoting and celebrating shows like OL, Star Trek, TZ, etc. Nick, TV Land, TNT, and the station formerly known as SciFi Channel back in the day all had great marathons/chain reactions, etc. that reignited interest in these works as well as garnered tons new fans. Sadly, most of these channels no longer do this or are interested. Luckily sites like yours play a part in keeping the love alive. ;) Though watching things with others at the same time, the shared experience, makes all the difference. I have many friends who have vast libraries of old TV series collecting dust on shelves, because it loses its fun if you are the only one watching. These shows were meant be seen together, with others, in the household and better yet, out there, in the great beyond. There's a magic to that, one that can't be replicated and one that is clearly missing in many people's lives. Cheers from Tokyo.

I've little doubt that the analog masters used to produce these mp3s at least rival or equal those of Dom's. <br /><br />Bad News: When i tried to download these two tracks i only got some kind of lullaby, presumably a free sampler of Harry's. I then emailed APM and was told that none of their music is for sale. <br />It can only be licensed to produce a specific project. One can call (323) 461-3211 to inquire about those fees. <br /><br />So, of course this begs the question: Why aren't all of us who love much of Harry's OL music (except when he went berserk on that Theremin a'la Probe, Colonel Barham and Expanded Human), pressing La La Land Records or Neil Norman's Crescendo Records to buy those APM licenses for a Harry Lubin OL soundtrack 2 CD set? Or if they decline, maybe Shout Factory. Shout is a Universal label, which acquired EMI which owns Harry's catalog. A CD release is probably the only we stand any <br />chance of getting Harry's music into our collections. Dom's music will sound truly awesome through the speakers I'm building. Maybe someday Harry's will too.

As editor of the JOURNAL OF FILM MUSIC, the first scholarly journal devoted to the topic, I can only wish we received papers which are as good as what I have read here, which would come under the heading “source studies” in musicology. For years I have heard rumors that legendary Edward B. Powell had worked as orchestrator on OL, as he had orchestrated for DF previously (being as DF had been a protégé of Alfred Newman, whose mainstay was Powell). But that doesn’t seem to gibe with the modus operandi described above which I know from Marlin Skiles was often used by composers of B films in the 1950s as a cost and time saver, in which a skilled music copyist would extract the orchestra parts directly from a detailed sketch, rather than from a full score, thus eliminating the need for an orchestrator.Bill Rosarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11050087683794239783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8535833613343533564.post-1275395064268410082013-01-21T06:38:55.932-08:002013-01-21T06:38:55.932-08:00I second that request for that TOP SECRET sound fi...I second that request for that TOP SECRET sound file-though an uncompressed FLAC or WAV file of an uncompressed master would be ideal.

Besides praising his music, I asked if he had any plans to release a recording. He said no, and that he had donated all the TOL material to his alma mater, the University of Wyoming.<br /><br />I called the curator of the museum more recently. There are 18 boxes of archival musical material donated by Frontiere at the American Heritage Center at the University of Wyoming. These boxes include all the musical scores or sheet music for The Outer Limits as well as other television projects he worked on between 1952-1975, including The Invaders. Here's the durable link to his catalogue page:<br /><br />http://uwcatalog.uwyo.edu/search~S1/?searchtype=Y&searcharg=dominic+frontiere&searchscope=1&sortdropdown=-&SORT=DZ&extended=0&SUBMIT=Search&searchlimits=&searchorigarg=Ydominic+frontiere%26SORT%3DD<br /><br />What's not known is whether or not there are actual audio tapes of these scores. When Frontiere said he donated his music to the University of Wyoming, as a composer, he was most probably referring to his actual handwritten music sheets, etc. This is the material that anyone wanting to re-orchestrate his music today would use. There are 905 leaves of music sheets on TOL alone here.<br /><br />Whether this information gets us any more TOL soundtracks, I doubt, but if anyone’s interested, here’s where to look.Hollywoodaholichttp://www.hollywoodaholic.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8535833613343533564.post-44506129531419387922011-01-24T04:38:23.711-08:002011-01-24T04:38:23.711-08:00Great article.

Has anyone else had trouble downloading the MP3 with Rapid Share? Is there any possibility of the scores for OL being available as sheet music at any time?
