Looks like FSM is moving to a low print run.

Dang. I'm surprised that FSM is even starting to go below 1500 copies now. I hope this lasts long enough for me to get it some day when I have spare cash...
I wonder how many volumes of Kaper at M-G-M there will be (or Schifrin for that matter). It seems like Lukas is starting to take the Rozsa Treasury approach to remaining MGM material from other composers as well, systematically releasing it all but this time in smaller sets as the composers don't have the following of Rozsa. Here's hoping for a Previn at M-G-M set containing all the remaining surviving music he wrote for the studio.

A great set and a nice adddition to the FSM Kaper discography!
It seems that the Perry Como song from SOMEBODY UP THERE LIKES ME could not be licensed and was replaced by a demo vocal in the Main Title.
I am also wondering a bit why THE ANGEL WORE RED from 1960 is not included in this set from 1954-1962. Will it come in a Vol. 2 or are there no tapes available anymore?

This set is not meant to be an exhaustive collection of the 1954-1962 scores. We grabbed as many as we could and kinda picked the low-hanging fruit as far as masters. We'll do more later!

Why is the U in BUtterfield capitalized?

Why is the U in BUtterfield capitalized?
It's from a time when phone numbers had letters. I believe you had to tell the operator the number and they'd plug you in. And Liz's character is a call girl...
"Phone numbers were usually not strictly numeric until the mid-1960s. From the 1920s until then, most urban areas had "exchanges" of two letters, followed by numbers. In the UK, however, exchanges in the major cities with Director installations were represented by three letters followed by four numbers; the letters usually represented the name of the exchange area (e.g. MAYfair, WATerloo), or something memorable about the locality (e.g. POPesgrove — an area where Alexander Pope once lived). This was considered easier to remember, although in London in the later part of this period it required the memorization of 7 characters (roughly the same number of characters as is usual for local calling in 2008). A word would represent the first two digits to be dialed, for example "TWinbrook" for "89" ; "BYwater" for "29". UK numbers had no letters at all except for those in the Director areas, where the first three of the seven digits were assigned letters, and written "ABBey 1234" or "WHItehall 1212", for example. A lack of pronounceable words, and the fact that most telephones world-wide have no letters on anyway, have led to the abandonment of letter usage in directory numbers except for publicity purposes."

The FSM office has an old Hollywood number which begins 46 (HO)!
