Count me in, but it really depends on the score. Not ever score he's done is something I'd want to own. I'd suggest keeping it to two or three discs though, and varied to draw in more people.

I'd just like to chime in and say that contrary to what seems to be public opinion, other composers continued to write excellent scores for Columbo after Goldenberg and Melle left. I know other people besides me are fans of Oliver Nelson's The Greenhouse Jungle and Patrick Williams has his followers, but other people don't seem as quick to give props to Bernardo Segall or Dick DeBenedictis for their fine work on the series (I know DeBenedictis's scores for the later Columbo series aren't up to his earlier work, but his earlier work is really excellent and fits right in with the Columbo aesthetic.)

Oops! You know, I actually forgot that this wasn't the COLUMBO thread!
Back on track, there's some terrific scoring in the 1976 Jack Klugman thriller ONE OF MY WIVES IS MISSING. It's really THE quintessential Goldenberg '70s sound. The Main Title starts at 01:25, and I always remembered (from an old cassette) the music towards the denouement. It's an oft-filmed old chestnut, so I won't shout SPOILER!!! Nobody's going to watch the whole thing anyway, are they? Well, if you are, don't watch the best bits with the best music, one starting at 1:24:27, and the finale and End Titles beginning 1:30:40.

Yeah, sorry for derailing the thread a bit. I do think that Billy Goldenberg more than anyone else (even Melle) was responsible for the "sound" of Columbo adopted by most other composers writing for the show.
I do like Goldenberg's music for the TV movie you linked to on YouTube!

The really impressive thing about Goldenberg was that his sound was there from his very first TV movie in '69, FEAR NO EVIL, which impressed the hell out of me back then. He had a unique style that meshed electronics with standard orchestra in a highly distinctive way exemplified in FEAR NO EVIL, DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK, THE GLASS HOUSE and many more. That's not to say he couldn't do great things with a standard acoustic orchestra, as in RED SKY AT MORNING and his sensitive score for the 1976 tv film JAMES DEAN.
I always thought of him as the uncrowned king of made-for-TV scores from the early 70's through the mid 80's. And he was no slouch in coming up with terrific series themes and scores.
I would be willing to pay a premium price for a Goldenberg box set (or 2 or 3) of his work at Universal in that period. (Please, Doug.)
