Sorry if this has been done before, but couldn't find a thread about it. Does anyone know of an ultimate resource for the Capitol Hi-Q library(ies)? As a long-time fan, and after a week of almost non-stop listening to TWSD (eternal kudos to ZDR), the flames of my obsession have been fanned even more. I've seen some scattered in various places (APM, KPM, OGM, --M?), but wish there was a definitive list, particularly the D-series, and the ones from which TWSD were drawn. Thanks! - jack

I don't believe that Capitol Hi-"Q" has been talked about nearly enough. This music is a large part of American entertainment culture and has been ingrained in the psyche of many baby boomers (and beyond), but unfortunately there doesn't seem to exist an "ultimate resource" of information on this remarkable body of work or the men that put it all together.
Studios seem to recoil in horror at any property which originally had Hi-"Q" attached, which is why works like Tales from the Darkside have been re-scored when released to DVD. But this simply creates increased demand and an opportunity to release the material which others are ignoring, which is why a complete novice like me ultimately took it upon himself to track down all of the reels that contained Night of the Living Dead cues. It's much too important not to restore and preserve.

It would be wonderful to hear all of the Capitol "Hi-Q" Tracks that were utilized in "Creepshow" as part of an ultimate edition "Creepshow" score (the library tracks and the complete John Harrison Score).
One of the cues used in Creepshow is included on "TWSD" as it was first used in Night of the Living Dead. Can you guess which one? 
I would actually love to have the same kind of resource on the Mutel Library as I would love to track down all the cues used in Gigantis the Fire Monster!
Good luck. The Mutel library (also issued as Capitol "Q") were released on 78s and are really tough to come by. Paul Mandell is your man in this area.

I want to say "Space Drama". Sounds like one of the tracks played in "The Lonesome Death Of Jordy Verrill", specifically as Jordy was drinking his Ripple and watching wrestling... all the while not noticing the changes surrounding the area where the meteor hit.
I noticed that a lot of Ib Glindemann's material was used in both "Creepshow" and the first season of "Tales From The Darkside". I would reason to guess that even if my answer is wrong, I'd at least have the composer of the piece right.
You're correct in that most of the Creepshow library cues are from Ib Glindemann: several used during the "Jordy" segment, the scenic theme for the beach in "Tide You Over" and a suspense cue from"The Crate" are all Gindemann. But there are also a few Phil Green cues in there, as well, during the "Jordy" segment.
The main cue also used in Night of the Living Dead is Mystery Hour which underscores Fritz Weaver and the grad student examining the blood all over the lab in "The Crate." A second Living Dead cue (the timpani cue) also shows up in the "Jordy" segment though it's obscured by having some John Harrison music mixed in.

Not enough interest in Capitol Hi-"Q" to keep this discussion current?
For one entire day, this thread appeared in the #1 spot on Goggle when you searched for "Capitol Hi-Q."

I wish there were. The Capitol Hi-"Q" material means a great deal to me, especially since it was certain works of George Romero that introduced me to the music (especially material like NOTLD, Creepshow and Tales From The Darkside). It's timeless in a way, and as silly as it may sound, I can't watch Paramount's "Tales From The Darkside" Season One DVDs with the changed music. Much like "Creepshow" the majority of "Darkside" S1 episodes utilized tracks by Ib Glindemann, with a few from Phil Green and Axel Simone (Axel's music was heard in the memorable episode 'Inside The Closet' with 'Phantom Raiders' being the track used to reveal the little white demon to the protagonist and the 'Darkside' viewers).
To keep this thread alive, who was the composer that created what is known as the 'Darkside' Stinger? It was part of another track but viewers would always hear the portion when the show went to (and returned from) a commercial break. The full track was used in Creepshow and the Pilot episode for "Darkside" called 'Trick Or Treat'.
I might also add that "Mystery Hour" pulled off a fine trifecta, being heard in NOTLD, Creepshow and the "Darkside" Episode 'Trick Or Treat' (MH was heard as young Timmy began his search for IOUs inside Gideon Hackles' home near the end of the episode.)

I'm interested in information about Creepshow and the Capitol Music Library, and you seem the best informed on the issue. The piece I'm looking for was used in 'Father's Day,' when Bedelia sat by the graveside getting drunk and talking to her father. The cue begins inside, when Sylvia says, "Then we will all sit down to a nice baked ham dinner, the three of us - excuse me, Henry - the four of us, who owe her so very, very much."
I was already familiar with this cue, since it often featured on Alan Landsburg's 1976 series, 'In Search Of...', most prominently in the episode "Castle of Secrets." I actually corresponded with John Harrison in the late 80's, asking if he remembered the piece; he thought it was "Deep Sea Test," but I think he was mistaken, having in mind instead something that was used in "Something to Tide You Over." I myself may be mistaken, but if "Deep Sea Test" is the one I'm thinking of, it also got used in 'In Search Of...'
If you know the one I'm seeking, I'd be ever so grateful.

It was even tracked in the second season of "The Untouchables".

My experience with the Capitol Hi-Q library were tainted by the fact that my first employer opted to get them on reel-to-reel tape, which made searching for cues a huge, tedious slog. "Needle-dropping" albums was a much faster way of finding cuts that worked.
Either this guy had very poor taste in his choice of Hi-Q albums or the library was generally pretty mediocre in my humble opinion. I occasionally ran across nostalgic favorites that I remembered from some commercials.

Hi,
I'm late to this topic, but want to add some info I just found out about that may be of use.
The memorable Tales of the Darkside bumper "stinger" music, is a track also used in the series In Search Of, and the Jon Wilkman produced HBO special Whodunit? (both with library music placement provided by Neiman-Tillar Associates). It is called "Sonar Waves" from the Capitol Hi-Q album D 107-108 Ocean / Ghosts, composed by William Loose. Also on this album is the track "Deep Sea Test" mentioned above as being in both Creepshow and In Search Of.
Best to all and thanks for the previous information in this thread.
Hello is there a way to find the track "Deep dea Test" you mentioned ?
Thanks

Hi there. I'm very late to the discussion, but I just wanted to let you know that the library track that plays in CREEPSHOW when Bedelia visits the grave — as well as at least one episode of "In Search of...." is called "Tide Research" — and it's on the Capital Hi-Q Oceans/Ghosts album.
