I bought the FSM Badge of Honor box set when it was available, but the theme on there was very lo-fi, like it was dubbed right off the TV set. I'm glad to have a hi-fi version. I'm glad that Jerry didn't alter the arrangement all those years later!
It's ridiculous that they didn't include this on the ponytail album. It runs only 30 minutes or so, and would have made the perfect album leadoff before "Bloody Christmas."
I was watching a third-season episode of Badge of Honor last night, and I think one of the great missed opportunities was having a crossover story with DRAGNET. After all, both shows were filmed in L.A, but I doubt Jack Webb and Brett Chase would get along.

It would have been like the Star Trek episode where they get sucked into the inter-dimensional doorway.

Some TV shows, despite having different production companies and airing on different networks are thematically complementary enough to entertain a crossover story. Badge of Honor and Dragnet would have been ideal.
I would love to have heard more of Goldsmith's CAIN'S HUNDRED-style scoring in Badge of Honor.

Some great nervous jazz content in the early Badge of Honor episodes, along the lines of Twlight Zone (TV show) and City of Fear.
Did the FSM Badge of Honor box set include all of the existing scores? I wish that Requiem for a Recluse had been included. I love all that dissonant 12-tone stuff played on the harpsichord.

Sadly, it will never be fully known if every one of the 276 scores even exist. However, the FSM box DOES include Jerry's early masterwork for the episode, "Welcome Home, Hero." Goldsmith would not compose "nervous, angular shorthair" music for a shuffling jazz piano-bass-drums trio ever again. That style of scoring died with JFK.

I guess a lot of it wound up in the CBS library. It was always very jarring to hear Badge of Honor cues in Twilight Zone episodes.
