I just watch Rod Serling`s NIGHT GALLERY on DVD for the first time and wonder, why there is no release at all from the beautifull music, wich was written for the series.

Specially the second season have some great scores (episodes like "The Boy who predicted Earthquake", "Since Aunt Ada came to stay", "Phantom Farmhouse" and of course "Silent Snow, Secret Snow), But of course, in all 3 seasons of the series you can find some great scores.

There were plenty of gifted composers who worked for the series: Paul Glass, Eddie Sauter, Oliver Nelson, Frank Skinner, John Lewis, Billy Goldenberg and of course Gil Melle and even Lalo Schifrin.
Even if some of them not well-known: they produced some of the best music for the show!

Sadly,CBS missed the chance to put isolated music tracks on the DVD-release, like they offer on theire TWILIGHT ZONE-Sets


MAYBE SOMEBODY KNOWS:

Did the masters still exist everywere?
.

Well, IF the masters have survived, they have to be in the Universal vaults somewhere.
So there might be a chance, if some label is indeed interested to release something from this show.



My dream would be two volumes of double-CD`s with the best music of NIGHT GALLERY from all three seasons (like Intrada did with BUCK ROGERS, or (even it was just one Volume) with THEN CAME BRONSON).

In the "old times", i think it would also be a great project for an FSM release (at least as part of a second or third OMNIBUS-Collection).

Well, ther is allways a chance...... :-)

I couldn't agree more! Night Gallery has some wonderful music that deserves to be heard on CD. Whether the masters still exist is another question, but given the fact that we have had so many TV scores released over the years (The Man From UNCLE, Mission Impossible, Star Trek, Buck Rogers, etc.) it gives us some hope.

Night Gallery, along with other shows (McMillan and Wife, Longstreet, Search, and The Invaders to mention a few) really do deserve to be enjoyed sans dialogue and effects.

It seems that Universal is somewhat difficult to deal with. Still, it would be awesome to hear the scores from Melle, Glass, Nelson and maybe the original T.V.M. pilot that was scored by Billy Goldenberg. I was reading that Hugo Friedhofer scored an episode, except this isn't true, and the only scoring may have been tracked from "This Earth Is Mine" and some from an episode of a series he scored at Revue Television (maybe "Wagon Train"?).

Every mountain can be worn down given enough time.
