(Member) - Any particualar parts you hear in the score that were "re-purposed" for The 6 Buck Man? I find a Steve Austin rhythm behind the Main Titles, but nothing specific.


Oscar, it's from the season 1 "Survival of the Fittest" and “Little Orphan Airplane" and the season 2 "Act of Piracy".

Some amazing news, people!



Liner notes author Jeff Bond had this great revelation to share:
”Okay, this was fun. Several years ago I wrote liner notes for Oliver Nelson’s tremendous score for the oddball missing link movie Skullduggery. This is a real find in great sound from an incredibly underrated and underrepresented composer. Skullduggery sat around for several years until LLL positioned it as the back end of a double album, so now we get another terrific score for a grim little western with Richard Widmark, Death of a Gunfighter. Bonus: Oliver Nelson is best known for working himself to death writing music for The Six Million Dollar Man, and you actually get some Six Million Dollar Man music here as Nelson reused some of his main title music as the opening to one SMDM episode."

Wow! Man, Oliver Nelson was great.

You wrote that in September 2019, Jeff. Was that before or after you prepared the notes for the release which came out today?

Regarding similarity between this score and Count Basie's Afrique album:

Skullduggery came first, 1970.

In 1971 Basie released Afrique (arranged and conducted by Nelson--and Nelson wrote most of the music).

He may have been working on both about the same time.

I wrote that reaction after watching the YouTube main title and weirdly not too long afterwards I got the gig doing notes for the initial Skullduggery release. I had only seen part of the movie ages ago prior to that.
