You're saying his TZ work is better than Son of the Morning Star? Damn...
Yavar
Well it is for me. But I have never seen Son of the Morning Star (although I have / like the score CD).
And I'll admit I saw these Twilight Zone episodes as an impressionable schoolkid. I definitely think appreciation of these scores would help if the listener was familiar with them in their original habitat, but that goes for a lot of things (I wouldn't say 'most' with any confidence any more).
Certainly for the big two, To See The Invisible Man and Opening Day, I couldn't recommend them enough heard alongside the episodes. But his next most impressive, Dead Woman's Shoes, should work equally well either way.
I've never seen Nightmare on Elm St #4 despite the soundtrack LP being my first Safan recording, and owning the film as part of the bluray boxset. But in that instance, after watching the exhaustive Never Sleep Again doc (with a Safan interview amongst the extras), I didn't think seeing the film (which looks bloody awful) would help, so I'm happy to remain ignorant forever of just what he was scoring there.
Having said that, if the opportunity to see Son of the Morning Star ever arrived, I'd watch it.
If by this time tomorrow I've found out the CD doesn't include the above mentioned Safan scores, I'm gonna go 'postal'.

Erm... I'll check again but either the episode credits as shown in the UK are wrong, or they've credited Song of a Younger World to the wrong guy. I'll look into it.
According to the end credits of this episode Robert Folk did the music, not Poledouris. I've just checked the DVD.

In the case of "Song of the Younger World," it's the DVD episode credits that are wrong. I'm not sure how or when the error was made, but the paperwork confirms that this score is by Poledouris. As CindyLover has observed, this does happen from time to time, even on high-profile series. (Off the top of my head, the BATMAN TAS episode "Mad as a Hatter," for example.)
I can confirm that the error goes right back to the '80s broadcast. But bizarrely nothing online seems to correct it, nor do the TZ team seem aware. You would have thought Folk or Poledouris would have mentioned loudly enough about such a credit at the time that people would remember.
That said, Justin Boggan upthread posted the same thing about Poledouris, so presumably that info was 'somewhere'.

Nope, the credits are wrong.
Basil did indeed the score for this one.

FYI, there is no music credit on IMDB for this episode.

This is correct.
Basil did score this one.
The written scores are in his archive.

I'm hoping for another volume down the line, and that seems feasible. It's purely down to sales, I believe. And I'm not sure how they decided on what came out now. But if you look at the cover, it was as I hoped / suspected. Safan, Poledouris, Goldstein and Young get mentioned first (in order of their allotted time) then everyone else with a single score each is alphabetical, including McCarthy. So he might be back, but the first four are entirely done.
I'd love to see a second volume with Merl Saunders & The Grateful Dead, Morton Stevens, Robert Folk and Robert Drasnin up front, with a smattering of others filling it out. The old Silva Screen disc could definitely be improved sonically too - I've given it a listen today. But I suspect all Dead related scores could take up three whole discs by themselves.
In any case, I'm certainly as happy as can be. I've always dreamed of Safan getting his own TZ album since seeing these as a boy, and he's got 67.5 mins all to himself here.
