Really looking forward to this! Lyn Murray's "One Way the Moon" score in particular is a long-time favorite of mine. I was watching the "Revenge of the Gods" episode earlier today to get re-acquainted with the Leith Stevens score (another favorite), and I noticed that some of the scenes set in ancient Troy were actually filmed on the "Lost in Space" alien planet set. Those wonky-looking rock formations are unmistakable!

With the original show having 30 episodes and this Volume covering 6 of them, can we expect 5 volumes total?
And was that first episode the only one John Williams scored or were there more?

I'm surprised no one did the release page for FRIDAY THE 13TH: PART VIII. I'm not predisposed to do such a thing but I always look forward to those discussions, too. Trying to remember who usually does those - Jason, is it you, too? Hint, hint.
So tempted to get THE TIME TUNNEL. Haven't seen the show but I have so much of the other Irwin Allen music (the Lost In Space box, etc.) and it's always superb.

The series had only 12 original scores. Williams only composed the pilot.
The two volumes will feature all the scores.
Interesting! Thank you very much!

Yes, John Williams only composed the score for the pilot, but that score was so important to the series that cues were used in many of the other episodes. Even some of the episodes scored by others occasionally utilized some of Williams' cues.
I rather thought Lyn Murray and Robert Drasnin's music was used more often during the series, with Williams' stuff generally relegated to cliffhanger endings and some stings. Once George Duning turned in the final original scores for "Death Merchant" they leaned on that one for action music. Lyn Murray's "One Way to the Moon" was used for every alien episode. Whenever I heard a Williams sue in the body of an episode later on, I was surprised. It seemed to represent the earlier format than the last half of the series.

I guess my perception went the other way, perhaps because the Williams score is so easily recognizable to me.
I do have question though. Perhaps someone here can answer it. In the Martin Grams book THE TIME TUNNEL, A HISTORY OF THE TELEVISION PROGRAM, the author lists the music cues of every episode. In many of the episodes that used stock music cues, there's one that's often listed:
"The Paperhanger Is Still Alive" - by Daniele Amfitheatrof
What score is this cue originally from, and has it ever been issued on a record or CD?
Hi, HGN2001.
Thanks for mentioning the book ; I had not been aware of it.
Earlier on, Jeff Bond already stated that La-La Land's booklet notes discourse on only that music which was written for THE TIME TUNNEL with no discussion regarding studio library stock music cues.
[it is up to us individual members to speculate  ]
I wonder the same as you, HGN2001, about the Amfitheatrof track.
My wild guesses are: 1) the 'paperhanger' refers to Adolf Hitler, 2) the origin of the cue hails from a 20th Century-Fox studio WWII movie & 3) a 20th/Fox WWII movie that was scored by Daniele Amfitheatrof could be the 1951 The Desert Fox (the story of Field Marshal Rommel).
Never saw that film ... never heard its music score ... still, my hunch remains on this item (unless another FSMer has anything more substantial).
Been wondering for years why an album on The Desert Fox has never been produced, especially as (a dozen years ago) labels like Varese & Intrada were regularly issuing forth vintage Fox titles via Nick Redman et al.
