What to expect from next week's suites (I don't know what day they'll be posted, as of yet):
Mike Post & Pete Carpenter, Jerrold Immel, and another "Serpico" suite.

This week's suites.
"Serpico"
Composer: Thomas Talbert
https://youtube.com/watch?v=k8Op6wMNoQA
This suite covers the only episode of the series he scored.
Unlike other episode scores, I did not find any of this tracked into other episodes.
"Guns of Paradise"
Composer: Jerrold Immel
https://youtube.com/watch?v=bjii6d--SlQ
Suite #1 (of tow or three recorded suites) that begins covering his work on the first season (about over half of it).
It's in an older west American, but not strictly speaking a western.
"The Rousters"
Composers: Mike Post & Pete Carpenter
https://youtube.com/watch?v=L4Gr09g3RbA
Suite #5 -- the final suite -- covering the entire series. This final suite covers the feature-length pilot. I should note there are two versions: the original longer version as first aired, and the edited-down feature-length pilot. Thankfully I the longer version was in better sound quality, so I was able to cover the score properly instead of skipping things edited out.
Since as a member pointed out two or three months ago here that Post doesn't want his music out and he's holding up releases, I'll just do what I am doing for Morton Stevens: one suite a month from January to November. So, three more Post/Carpenter suites this year, with "240-Robert" continuing and another series.

What to expect from Monday's suites.
"Serpico", not quite the police, and an overseas score with a catchy memorable funky theme with wordless female vocals.

Absolutely. :-)
I'm not familiar with the show or the music, but I'll make it a next year request. I think I'm filled up for this year now. People barely made any requests and I had to start doing suites of my own accord to fill up this year.

I just recorded a 1969 pilot score for next year. We both share the love of 1960's/1970's TV scoring. :-)

This week's suites.
"Serpico"
Composer: Elmer Bernstein
https://youtube.com/watch?v=eMB99M-96BA
Suite #2 which finishes covering the feature-length pilot score.
Ora Hero
Composer: Florin Bogardo
https://youtube.com/watch?v=1WjomwX7Lss
A foreign film.
Sadly, that wonderful catchy theme music was not heard in-full in the film. Portions of the opening cue was edited up and used as the end credits music.
There isn't much score in the film.
"Banacek"
Composer: David Rose
https://youtube.com/watch?v=IkjlXUoJ_rQ
For the "Not quite the police" suites which will continue through August and maybe into early September...
This suite covers the only "episode" he scored.
This did trip copyright, even though the episode itself it not featured and the video itself fits Fair Use, but, thankfully, the copyright owner allows it on YouTube, so there's that. Thanks for continually ignoring Fair Use and generously allowing me to put up what I was able to anyway, Google/YouTube.

This week's suites.
"Cassie & Co."
Composer: J.J. Johnson
https://youtube.com/watch?v=ke0Q8iTZ0Nc
Here's a treat for fans of the composer.
Until about two months ago, this was missing from his resume, but then I found all the episodes and went threw them to complete the composer credits for the short-lived show on IMDb.
This series had half a season and was just as quickly forgotten when it was canned as when it premiered. Starring Angie Dickinson as an ex cop turned private eye. The other contributing composers: Lex de Azevedo, Nathan Sassover, and Misha Segal (one episode).
Johnson scored four episodes and this suite covers all four.
"Guns of Paradise"
Composer: Jerrold Immel
https://youtube.com/watch?v=Hqv8QGGYR1E
With this and the first suite, most of his work on season one.

What to expect from next week's suites: three or four suites.
September: a Canadian orchestral score, one of the best James Bond scores not made for a James Bond film, the continuation of "Serpico", and one or two other things.
October: Two or three "Kolchak: The Night Stalker" suites (unless LLLR announces something; I am waiting for the October announcement before wasting my time) from the promo (?), and two or three other Halloween-themes suites. As well as some other stuff. And one October surprise.
November: the final month of suites for the year. I finish up "Serpico", burn off some remaining suites, and present one Christmas-theme suites. A theme "cold" will cover the suites (cold-blooded murder, etc.). And some special suite I hope will grab people: an powerful orchestral theme-driven score to a Canadian documentary of all things!
2024:
I continue with one Morton Stevens suite and one Mike Post suite each month (three Post suites already recorded, one already video rendered). Expect to see more suites from TV shows I have made suites for before (like "Banacek" and "Hart to Hart" for example). You can make suggestions for 2024 now, but suggestions probably won't make it until February or March (just due to the nature of the time it takes to make them).

This week's suites.
Sangre En El Caribe
Composer: Gregorio Garcia Segura
https://youtube.com/watch?v=ADufbZd5IVA
Suite #2, the final suite covering this unreleased foreign-film score.
"Savage"
Composer: Gil Melle
https://youtube.com/watch?v=wWryLDY6Zc8
A feature-length TV pilot for a series that did not get picked up.
There isn't much score in the pilot, so this suite pretty much covers it all. I guess its possible score was dropped.
"Wildcatters"
Composer: Emil Newman and Maurice De Packh
https://youtube.com/watch?v=h8VGP5ZjcvM
From the Department of Not Quite a Western: This was a failed hour-long pilot for a series that did not sell, starring Claude Akins in an ensemble cast.
I know what you're thinking: I've never heard of "Wildcatters" before!
With good reason. This pilot was so obscure that even on the internet it essentially did not exist -- not even an IMDb page -- until a few short months ago when it was uploaded to YouTube. So, naturally, I added the pilot to IMDb.
"Charlie's Angels"
Composer: Jack Elliot and Allyn Ferguson
https://youtube.com/watch?v=HX19iiaTFHY
Suite #2, the final suite covering the pilot. No further suites recorded at this time, though there will be another one or two in 2024.

What to expect from Tuesday's suites: Morton Stevens, Post & Carpenter, and more "Serpico". Vote now for the "Serpico" suite to be Murray or Drasnin, otherwise I'll decide myself.

This week's suites.
The Million Dollar Face
Composer: Morton Stevens
https://youtube.com/watch?v=eh40DRmnS3c
Suite covering a lot of the score from the TV movie. I also included an edited version of the song that opens the film, which has music by Stevens, to remove the singing.
"240-Robert"
Composer: Mike Post & Pete Carpenter
https://youtube.com/watch?v=ijRPSEdZBv0
Suite #3 for the two, covering two more episodes they scored.
"Serpico"
Composer: Robert Drasnin
https://youtube.com/watch?v=l5K5KPIK78o
The votes are in and Drasnin won.
Suite #1 (of two) covering the only episode of the series he scored. Dialogue and FX left in in some cases to preserve the musical structure. You'll notice a small part of it was taken from the one episode of "Most Wanted" he scored (which I also covered in suite form earlier in this thread).
