Hi, Can anybody tell me if any recordings of this fabulous TV series music exist? There were great composers besides Morton Stevens , among them: Richard Shores, Jerrold Immel, Peter Rugolo, etc. I think a CD would be fantastic.!! Any idea about this, Mr. Ford Thaxton?
Oh back in the day when there were a lot of great tv themes!! Certainly there were versions of this on tv theme LP compilations. Someone on here will tell you what.

It's on Mancini's "The Cop Show Themes" CD which was recently re-released by Dutton Vocalion as a 2 fer along with "Symphonic Soul".
I got thinking that with Mort’s FIVE-O music in limbo, now might be a perfect time to look into getting some of his fantastic music from POLICE WOMAN released. I wonder if there are elements available for such a project.

Mancini stretches his version out to an interminable 4 minutes, yet never gets around to the main theme.
John Gregory did a version that turns a little film-noirish in its second half for his 1976 Mercury LP "TV's Greatest Detective Hits." It was released in the U.K. as "The Detectives" on the Philips label. It is not available on CD.

According to Jon Burlingame's book "Television's Greatest Hits" Stevens took the melody from his friend Jerry Goldsmith's main theme from "Our Man Flint" and turned it "upside down and backwards".
