Unfortunately Fish Man does not have a YT video for “The Human Computer”...

I was listening to a season 4 episode and Jerry Goldsmith music from season 2 was track. So i guess it would not be a big soundtrack set because there was lots of trackings, maybe i am wrong since i have not re-watch all the episodes.
I think if it were released complete it would be around the size of the Lost in Space set...

There were a LOT of episodes with their own scores, not to mention the huge amount of library cues made for the series and the rerecodings of the film music they used. Four seasons,a complete set would be probably a little larger than LIS or Trek.

Ah that's right I forgot Lost in Space was one fewer season, so you're probably right. IMDb probably doesn't list all of the original scores, then, because their list is just the following:
Series Music by
Leith Stevens ... (9 episodes, 1965-1968)
Lennie Hayton ... (8 episodes, 1965-1967)
Paul Sawtell ... (7 episodes, 1964-1965)
Alexander Courage ... (6 episodes, 1964-1968)
Hugo Friedhofer ... (4 episodes, 1964)
Harry Geller ... (4 episodes, 1967-1968)
Jerry Goldsmith ... (1 episode, 1965)
Michael Hennagin ... (1 episode, 1965)
Nelson Riddle ... (1 episode, 1965)
Morton Stevens ... (1 episode, 1965)
Herman Stein ... (1 episode, 1966)
Robert Drasnin ... (1 episode, 1967)

Michael Hennagin only did 5 or six brief cues for "The Human Computer;" most of the score is by Morton Stevens.
Well I like Mort Stevens too so sign me up for that score! But yeah, even if brief I'm very curious to hear some of Hennagin's work.

Tracked or original Stevens work?

Pretty sure it was original work by Stevens. A lot of the music was unique that that episode.

I'm impressed with the model of the Disney Nautilus in your collection, Jeff.

So let's dig this baby up and talk about o0ur favorite Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea episodic scores, if you wish, since we're just a couple of weeks from the CD set release...
The music from this series is really excellent, often better than the late series antics on screen. Out of the four Irwin Allen SF shows of the 60's, the series music is unique for a few reasons:
1) it's the only series to sport a Jerry Goldsmith theme (for one episode but it was meant to be retained and was used in the undersore of a few second season episodes)
2) it's the only series to not have John Williams involvement.
3) it's the only series to use its series themes in the underscore (other than a few brief moments of JW's theme used on Lost in Space to puncutate a comedy act-out)
There are a great many fabulous scores, but my favorites are in the color episodes when the music was infused with more energy. However, th appropriately nautical theme by Paul Sawtell (both versions) is absolutely perfect for the series and was easily adaptable for episodic underscore.
Also in the first season "The Mist of Silence" and "The Village of Guilt" have beautiful music. The other first season scores are mostly very nice, but the energy is low and moody. While many people love the more mature seriousness of the first year, I feel it is very much lacking in fun.
Second Season:
Easily some of the most adventurous and exciting scores. "Jonah and the Whale," "The Cyborg" (my vote for Sandy Courage's best 60's TV work), "Leviathan," "Escape from Venice," "The Left-Handed Man," and "The Phantom Strikes" are all exceptional. While some people seem to feel "Venice" sounds Batmanish, I disagree. NElson Riddle has a style, but there's little of Batman here. However, he dead lean hard on that sound for his one Man from UNCLE score and that western he did.
Third season:
"Monster from the Inferno" really set the tone for the season, but a few other scores stand out, such as "Death from the Past," "The Lost Bomb" and the weird "The Wax Men." This is the year they leaned really hard on the Fox library. The second year had some of it as well, mostly from "The Young Lions" and "The Enemy Below" but the third year truly dug deep.
Fourth Season:
Boy did they come back with some fun music! "The Deadly Dolls" is amazing, as are "Sealed Orders," "A Time to Die" (the "backwards" music was amazing) and "The Return of Blackbeard."
I can go on and on. And no doubt I will.
