Has the original music from the show ever been released?

Only the theme music (original version) on Television's Greatest Hits Vol. II. ("Blah blah blah sound effects blah blah blah opening narration" but it's still better than nothing.)


Which rips off Eric Clapton's guitar riff from Cream's "Sunshine Of Your Love".

Fortunately for Mike and Pete, it's the bits on either side of the riff that everyone remembers. razz

Hi I´m new here and I see that I am not alone. I´m also a big fan of Post´s & Carpenter´s work and I hope there will be a "Mike Post & Pete Carpenter Collection" someday. Similar to the "Mission: Impossible"-Box Set (CD 01: The Best Of Rockford, CD 02: The Best Of Magnum etc. At the moment I watch "Hunter" on DVD and there is great music as well. After the release of the FSM "Knight Rider"-CD I hoped for more FSM Soundtracks from the 70´s & 80´s TV-shows, but nothing happened. All in all we have nearly the complete music for "Knight Rider" (Don Peake sells his music on CD and USB-sticks), one well arranged and produced "A-Team"-Soundtrack (but no original) and two "Airwolf"-Soundtracks ( I know it´s from Levay but nevertheless very good)). Mike Post and Pete Carpenter were wizards in composing TV-scores and especially the themes are so brilliant... once listened and you´ve never forgot. Also the not so successful shows like "Stingray" or Tequila & Bonetti" have great themes. Maybe some people here have contacts to Mike Post, Universal or Stephen J. Cannell productions and can apply some pressure, because I heard that Universal is very difficult to license from. But it seems possible regarding the "Knight Rider"- and "Battlestar Galactica"-Soundtracks. I´m going crazy thinking about the Post/Carpenter tapes going to rot in a store.

For many of us from the 80s TV generation, Mike Post is a hero. I used to hook up a cassette player to a BetaMax VCR in order to snag Mike Post tunes. Like others, I would love to have a Mike Post collection.

Agree on above. Would so much like to see more released.

I'd take a "Magnum, pi" set. Or two. Or three. Or four. Hell, probably five (even the composers before Post/Carpenter).

I'd take a set or two of "Hunter" (selected cues, some complete episode scores, even Walter Murphy's season seven work)

And I'd love a set of work from the first season of "CHiPs", where Post/Carpenter did two or three episodes, along with a main title cue which was rejected (according to the FSM Volume 1 notes).

And other things here and there. Believe it or not, I've seen so little of "The A-Team" in such a long time I can't even recall anything but the theme.

I an always do with more CHiPs. I love all the FSM CDs and they get a lot of air time in the May to August period.

When it comes to Mike Post, my absolute number 1 is "Captain America - death too soon".
That opening theme and the driving sequence that follows immediately after that is such great music. Besides that I truly love those two films.

The complete series is coming to Blu-ray fully restored and in high-definition. Would be a perfect time for a score release!

Thought I recognized that subject line.
Thanks for the heads up.
And yes, this music would sell.
