Sounds like a fantastic release. But just like the Star Trek Box I am not that much interested in 60s tv stuff, so I won`t buy it.
As soon as the labels start touching 70s and 80s tv music like The Rockford Files, The A-Team, Dallas, Dynasty, Falcon Crest, Scarecrow and Mrs. King, Columbo, Six Million Dollar Man, Father Dowling Mysteries and stuff like that I`ll start buying every box set LLL is producing.

'60's, '70's, '80's -- the golden period of TV series scoring. I say bring it all on!

Hey, the golden period lasted into the 90s -- don't leave Shirley Walker and co. out! Sadly by the late 90s orchestral TV scoring was dying out.

But fortunately we've had a resurgence in some areas, with Giacchino's Lost and McCreary's work on various shows as clear highlights.

The majority occurs within that period, but there are always outliers; outliers are like the example that does not disprove the rule.

I wonder if LLL will include the songs performed by the actors of the series:
Barbara Bain in "Illusions": 3 songs.
Leslie Ann Warren in "Flip Side" : 2 songs.
Linda Day George in "Trapped": 1 song.
Greg Morris in "Blues" : 2 songs.

Unexpected thought forgotten, an excellent release. Thank you La La!

Is it an impossible mission to release KOJAK? Is there hope? Shout Factory has released all 5 seasons with superb picture quality.

KOJAK please!

Possibly, though I'm sure their singing skills are not the favourite topics of any of the actors big grin

I became a Schifrin fan after buying Cool Hand Luke and Bullitt. Then tracked down a used copy of the Hip-o Music From Mission: Impossible for under $15 about six months ago.

Is there any reason why I should not be satisfied with the Hip-o release?

If the La-La set was 3 disc for $30 I would buy it without hesitation. 6 discs for $100 gives me great pause.

No reason at all, if you like it.

The Hip-o is a reissue of old album recordings Schifrin made. They are not the original pieces, and I honestly don't know enough about the scores to know how faithful they are to the originals. (I'm guessing at least some is not very faithful.)

Of course, the Hip-o also doesn't have any music by Fielding, Fried, etc.

It all depends on what you want to listen to. The releases are very different, though.

•••JUDY'S GONE NOW LYRICS/SUNG BY GREG MORRIS/MUSIC BY BENNY GOLSON•••
Judy is gone now
All silent and still
Reached for the stars
But who’d she ever harm?
Who’d she ever kill?
Aimed so high
Like a soaring bird
It just don’t seem right
Sang those sweet notes, but said the wrong word
Yeah, Judy is gone now
Pushed into the night
Cold hand, cold heart sent her away
On her last flight…
Good-bye, Judy
It just don’t seem right
That he is still here
And you’re gone forever…
Pushed into the night
Good-bye, Judy
It just don’t seem right
That he is still here
And you’re gone forever…
Pushed… into the night.

Yes, they are.

Some or most of those tunes did end up getting used in the series, normally as source music. The arrangements on that album are completely different to the scores themselves: very upbeat and pop-orientated.

The menace and suspense of the series is missing, and that will be more of a feature of the La La Land set, which will be a far truer representation of the music from the series.

It was mentioned earlier that Mission Impossible has disappeared from Netflix. It is now available for no charge on Amazon Prime. Worth doing if you're a Prime and want to sample the music, especially once the tracklist is up.

I don't think Lesley Ann Warren has a problem with it...

I'm might really have to consider this one. My interest presently is strictly as a Schifrin fan. I've never seen an episode.

How much of the set would be deemed essential, and what are you most looking forward to?

The source music from Season One "The Banjo Song" as I like to call it, among others.

Cinnamon "the lady was made to be loved"

The Go-Go Song

The Latin Lounge Music

The score from "The Ransom"

The score from "Odds on Evil"

The George Sheraring-esque music from "The Emerald"

and of course "Judy's gone now"

And on and on....

This was my second Grail after TOS...so you know I am stoked.

MISSION RUNDOWN

Apart from the two heavyweight composers that are theme creator Lalo Schifrin and Jerry Fielding, find the other composers that contribute.

Jerry Fielding participated at Desilu's last three series as a major asset: "Star Trek", "Mission: Impossible" and "Mannix".

As a reminder concerning the input of Jerry Fielding on the series:
"... Of all the composers who worked on the show in subsequent years, only Jerry Fielding came close to creating the suspense which worked so well for the show".
—Desilu music supervisor Jack Hunsaker


season 1 highlights
Don Ellis give a fine abstract and semi-free jazz-oriented score entitled "A Cube of Sugar" which foreshadows musical aspects of "The French Connection".

Gerald Fried writes the most powerful Bouzouki-laden and Greek-flavored action-adventure score of the season entitled "Odds on Evil": so good that it was recycled up until season 4. Topkapi style!

Walter Scharf writes his best suspenseful string-laden martial score entitled "Old Man Out"—that you can file between "The Project Strigas Affair" and "The Night of the Assassin"—and a sad saxophone-oriented crime jazz one entitled "The Ransom".

the only minor entry is "Wheels": Jack Urbont’s score is very light and reminds shallow musicals of the 1950s that contain jazz music and Spanish folklore.


To be continued… Season 2 highlights…
