This week's suites.
"Strangers in 7A"
Composer: Morton Stevens
https://youtube.com/watch?v=uYLbIkZdbYA
The second and final suite covering the TV movie score.
The Million Eyes of Sumuru
Composer: John Scott
https://youtube.com/watch?v=6APqY0cYOHE
This is a special suite for this unreleased film score. In the film parts of the opening credits music -- which itself was not used in full -- were tracked throughout the film, so I was able to extend it and makes parts cleaner. Then some of the temple/house invasion battle music at the end, was tracked twice during it, so I was able to make the cue cleaner.
One things became clear while working on this score: What ever [n]John Scott recorded, was not presented as recorded -- near I can tell -- anywhere in the film. His score was butchered all to hell and tracked. I can't guarantee many scenes even have cues that were written for them. I assume Bob will show this to Scott and play the suite for him, so this all may be news to Scott -- he may not be aware of how his score was treated.
And here is something else Scott may not even know, in fact -- I'd say probably no one here even knows this: there is an overseas cut of the film -- perhaps the first cut -- that features some different score! And since there is no composer credited, I assume it's a track job.
For those curious, here is the overseas cut:

There is, however, score in that cut that was in the cut with Scott credited, so I got a bit of a mystery on my hands: how much of the score in the John Scott cut, us by John Scott?
The million answers of Sumuru.

QUESTION:
Is there any interest in me covering (the series, not a bunch of suites) the series "Lucas Tanner"? I completed the IMDb credits a week ago, so that's the full composer listing for the show.

This week's suites:
Night Chase
Composer: Laurence Rosenthal
https://youtube.com/watch?v=TnuZaUP3Q2E
Suite #2 -- the final suite -- covering the score.
"Shell Game"
Composer: Michel Colombier
https://youtube.com/watch?v=hzMW7mIsSFA
This suite covers the only two episodes he scored.
EDIT: For some reason the video editor rendered the screen grab of his credit, in that weird ghostly white way. That's not what I showed when I made the video.

This week's suites.
With the official first day of Spring next week in my country, I decided to "spring" into action.
"Jake and the Fatman"
Composer: Morton Stevens
https://youtube.com/watch?v=nnYhxGO40oc
This suite covers the only two episodes he scored.
Blueprint for a Robbery
Composer: Nathan van Cleave
https://youtube.com/watch?v=CNy792-sVxc
Suite #1 (of two) covering this unreleased film score. One thing was apparent when working in the editing: the score was obviously edited up and not really presented as recorded very much.

Editing goes slow on the "Serpico" suites. Based upon the short clip of the episode "Country Boy" on YouTube, I would say that is a tracked episode entirely. And based on score found and not identified, the other episode yet to pop up "Strike!", I would say that one likely has an original score by Drasnin or Markowtiz.
And some cool source music (especially three pieces) that sadly unless somebody has sheet music access, will be unidentified, but I will make a separate suite of source cues and unidentified scoring.
So far the best work on salvaging, has been on the Drasnin score. Two cues so far which were like 95% covered in dialogue in the episode, are now each about 98% clean. And other cues are in progress. In the end I'll still have to delete some cues that are not salvageable, sadly.
Don't expect any suites for a few months from this show.

What to expect from Monday's suites.
And a note about the week after next.
We spring into action one last time for the month of March, closing out with Laurence Rosenthal, and Dominic Frontiere.
NOTE:
Because of highly involved time-destroying editing on suites yet to be posted, I have fallen behind on suites, so I will have to take two weeks off. Not in a row, but there will be no new suites the first week of April. Sorry.
There will, however, be a Sneak Preview suite like I did for "The Red Hand Gang", so you can get an advance hear of the secret series I mentioned when funding for the flash drive.

This week's suites.
One final spring into action for March.
"Call to Danger"
Composer: Laurence Rosenthal
https://youtube.com/watch?v=JxLGdaWhNsM
Suite #2 -- the final suite -- covering the failed third CtD pilot.
At the moment, there are no further Rosenthal suites planned for 2023.
"Matt Houston"
Composer: Dominic Frontiere
https://youtube.com/watch?v=le2nBQioE4g
Suite #1 (no further suites recorded for any contributing composer) which covers the feature-length pilot.
While editing the suite, it became clear that the whimsical material heard in the pilot was almost completely an edit job of a longer piece and just re-used throughout the episode, so I tried my best to present as long as a version as I could (which opens the suite).
I could have included selections from the next episode he scored, but I decided to keep this suite strictly dedicated to the pilot score.
I only have one more Frontiere score suite planned this year, for another series. Subject to change.

Here is a sneak preview of a TV series I have been working on. Last time I did this, I later revealed it to be "The Red Hand Gang", where I went through that entire series, found cleaner parts of cues, and tried to salvage pieces that I could. Here on this mystery series, I am doing the same.
These are only parts of raw cues (no final editing has occurred yet) and these are only selections of all the cues.
I hope people enjoy this. If you happen to know what it is, keep it quiet for now.
