Will Jeff Bond's liner notes explain why composers such as Daniele Amfitheatrof and Herman Stein are associated with the series if they didn't write for any of the 12 original scores for TIME TUNNEL?
Was Amfi's 1950s film music for 20th Century Studios tracked into segments as stock library music?
Did Herman Stein ghost-write for any of the composers?

Below is my guesstimation on forthcoming contents:

Volume 1

Disc 1
Rendezvous with Yesterday (Williams)
One Way to the Moon (Murray)

Disc 2
End of the World (Murray)
The Day the Sky Fell In (Sawtell)

Disc 3
The Last Patrol (Murray)
Crack of Doom (Drasnin)

Volume 2

Disc 4
Revenge of the Gods (L. Stevens)
Massacre (Mullendore)

Disc 5
Reign of Terror (L. Stevens)
Secret Weapon (Sawtell)

Disc 6 [one CD - two "Death"s! ]
The Death Trap (Drasnin)
The Death Merchant (Duning)

Curiously, classic DOCTOR WHO with William Hartnell had 2 stories with the same titles - "Reign of Terror" (1964) [with music by Stanley Myers] & "The Massacre" (Feb '66) - before TIME TUNNEL was ever broadcast.

This programming sounds good. I remember that the film editor tracks many Bernard Herrmann cues from Fifties features films
like The Day The Earth Stood Still, Garden of Evil and else.

Forgive my ignorance, and please dont bite my head of or spit on me, or something, but...

Johnny Williams...is that a young version of John Williams?

Yes, Johnny Tower Williams

Thanks LLL for this great gem of the future-past long awaited in France.

I've tried to google this but all google is showing me is results for "John Towner Williams".
Not "Johnny", but apparently his father's name was "Johnny" and he also did music, so is this his father?

I am being serious with these questions, lol!

I know absolutely nothing about The Time Tunnel. Had to look it up. But with John Williams attached to this, I will seriously consider it. I've been enjoying the other Irwin Allen sets so this may be another purchase for me.
The theme for The Time Tunnel was the first John Williams music to really grab me.

He was billed thus throughout the '60s.

Yes, Johnny Tower Williams

Did the record shop get permission to use his middle name?

Nop, because he's Towner, not Tower

Note that this release will include the music WRITTEN for the show, not the Fox library music by Herrmann or anyone else. Although Herman Stein did some additional music for Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea uncredited we didn't find anything by him for TT; the credited composers wrote all the music for their individual scores.
Time Tunnel did use a lot of Fox library music because it included so much stock footage from Fox period movies. But the scores written specifically for the show are also quite exciting (Leith Stevens' "Revenge of the Gods" on Vol 2 is a full-on sword and sandals epic).

Most of the Bernard Herrmann, etc. cues have been released on CD over the years anyway. Granted, a lot are out of print, but if you're a Herrmann fan, you probably have a lot of them. The Varese Herrmann box set was a treasure trove of great music and if you loved music from the Irwin Allen shows, you would find a lot of cues used on TT and Voyage.

Some were also rerecorded for the Fox library, like a up tempo version of The Day the Earth Stood Still. Also Alfred Newman's Prince of Foxes had a cue used repeatedly, but without an additional overlay that is on the CD releases. If you track down these releases and add them to the two album releases by the end of the year, you'll have a fairly comprehensive library of the music from the series.

I thought that maybe all 12 episode original scores together could be put on 4 CDs.

They're long scores and when everything was timed out we realized it would be more than four discs. As the show only had one season, I pitched six discs instead of a "best-of" compilation. Thankfully, MV agreed.

6 CDs ! - The Time Tunnel complete!
I am in heaven!
Many thanks to MV!

Thanks much to NS Bulk for actually pitching it to MV!

I thought John(ny) was his middle name (with Jazzy being his given name)?

Excuse my Neanderthal stupidity (with all due respect to the descendants of the many many really bright Neanderthals out there, decorating private property with paintings of bison), but are the three volumes already "in the bag" (as the kids might not say)? I'm asking because of things like Prometheus' "Jerry Goldsmith: The Early Years - Vol. 1" and FSM's "TV Omnibus - Vol. 1", neither of which got a Volume 2.

I mean, if absolutely nobody in the whole wide world buys Volume 1, will we still get the chance to buy the forthcoming volumes?

Wide of the bull, me thinks.

They are only making 1,000 copies of Volume 1. It has music by John Williams, as well as by the other amazing composers. I'd be willing to bet La La Land won't have much trouble selling it out. I guarantee at least one copy will be sold... to me!

The Reign of Terror and The Massacre were two different stories.

Work on Vol 2 is largely done and I'm confident it will be released this year.
