My #1 holy grail is now a reality: Available from Laurel Records: http://www.laurelrecord.com ($25.99) "Laurel Records proudly announces the release of Music From THE RIFLEMAN® Television Series composed by Herschel Burke Gilbert. The wildly popular Series ran from 1958 through 1963. Reruns continue to this day. Conceived, produced, and directed by the team of Jules Levy, Arthur Gardner, and Arnold Laven, the show gained a devoted following. Particularly popular was the music, which was composed by veteran Hollywood composer Gilbert who had earned 3 Academy nominations for his film scores. So popular was the music that Gilbert occasionally received more fan mail for his scoring than the show’s star, Chuck Connors. This 2 CD set contains cues originally written for the series (including the original and revised end titles) remastered from the original audio tapes plus a bonus CD of extras, including selected cues from Gilbert’s film scores used in the series, as well as vocals and extra materials not used on-screen. A 24-page booklet explains the history of the scoring and has lyrics to The Rifleman Song, which has never been heard before this release. Series video is available from LGLProductions (www.TheRifleman.net). This long awaited CD set of the original music is a must have for any fan of THE RIFLEMAN®" Main CD 1 Main Title (1:22) 2 Mark's Theme (2:53) 3 Mark's Fear+I'm Shot (1:38) 4 Mark's Fun (1:01) 5 The Rifleman (0:54) 6 Dramatic Buildup (0:56) 7 McCain's Chase (4:00) 8 Stagecoach Trouble (1:20) 9 Spurred Horses (1:26) 10 McCain's Walk (1:06) 11 Mark's Alright (1:23) 12 Dirge (2:33) 13 Timp & Horns (0:46) 14 Mysterioso (2:04) 15 Desert Walk (2:42) 16 McCain & Son (1:20) 17 Watch Out (1:24) 18 The Bad Villain (2:05) 19 Black Shadows (1:07) 20 Lively & Rhythmic (2:10) 21 Pensive (2:39) 22 Evil Things A'Brewin (1:08) 23 Lou Mallory (1:11) 24 Emotional Buildup (1:33) 25 First Act End (0:20) 26 Love in a Laundry (4:38) 27 Wilkins Clips Tracy (0:36) 28 Jimmo Dies (2:43) 29 Drunkard's Walk (1:20) 30 Money Rejected (2:14) 31 You Have a Baby (0:59) 32 Tracy Please Come Home (1:50) 33 End Title (Naked Hills) (0:27) 34 New Rifleman End Credits (0:58) 35 Four Star Fanfare (0:14) Total Time: (57:48) BONUS CD 1 Rifleman Song (1:54) 2 Rifleman Song-Vocal Only (2:06) 3 Something Special Song (1:17) 4 Ballad of Jake Pardee (3:04) 5 Hey Pa (2:06) 6 Brother Rats (1:12) 7 Man Eats Newspaper (1:21) 8 Shorty Plays (0:50) 9 Seasons Change Montage (1:07) 10 Greg's Plan (2:24) 11 Poison Pills (0:45) 12 The Prowler (1:21) 13 Give Him The Needle (1:06) 14 Killer in the News+Police Office (3:06) 15 March to the Toilet+Follow That Man (2:32) 16 Torn Suit/The Package (1:56) 17 The Highwaywoman (1:59) 18 Guilty or Not (1:53) 19 I'm Leaving/Stalking A Killer (2:56) 20 Vicenti Dies (4:32) 21 Bank Hold-Up (2:25) 22 Hide & Seek (3:54) 23 Catch Him!/The Fight (1:33) 24 Hidden Microphone (4:06) 25 Assembling an Episode-Young Man's Fancy (2:44) 26 Rifleman Suite for Band (6:58) Total Time: (61:44)

I enjoyed the series as a kid, along with many of the other TV oaters. What I loved, and still love, as a grown-up, are the film and TV scores of Mr. Gilbert. This is great news. PS: He was also a lovely gentleman, and his wife a gracious lady, both of whom I got to meet through Hans Salter.

The liner notes on this look terrific. They're both general and cue-by-cue, and what I find hard to find pointed out anywhere except on Jon Burlingame's fuller review is that the Bonus Disc is all music used in The Rifleman which Gilbert had pulled from his film scores for things like While the City Sleeps and Witness to Murder (about 13 of his film scores). Just got it, and this looks to be a real treat.

Here's the data (no track has film #11!), and the liner notes note that on CD 1, tracks 26-33 also came from a film, The Naked Hills (1956), so we get both a ton of Rifleman music, and a kind of primer on composer Herschel Burke Gilbert!

According to the track by track-analysis in the booklet the tracks 21 and 22 are from "Vice Squad". Yikes. I'll need to get to those. Looks like the numbered list is just off! Typos. Everybody's got one.
