Which means, he conducted the score (he did the same for Goldsmith's "The Homecoming"). Stevens did what I feel was the best arrangement of "Gunsmoke"'s main title, which was used beginning with its 13th season. Stevens also functioned in the same capacity for Goldsmith's "Brotherhood Of The Bell". Could that be F.S.M.'s next release? Let's hope so!
With respect, being credited as Music Supervisor doesn't necessarily mean that Stevens conducted the music at all.
And if you look closely at the blurb (eg track listing) on the SAE website page for FSM's Hunters are for Killing CD, it does say 'Composed and conducted by Jerry Fielding'....
Mort Stevens did not conduct either one of these two productions - Mort's job as "supervisor" was to hire both, Fielding and Goldsmith for their respective assignments - I know I have THE HOMECOMING on DVD and it clearly states in the end credits, "Music Composed and Conducted by Jerry Goldsmith" with a credit at the tail end, " Music Supervisor: Morton Stevens - oh, Mort MAY have conducted a cue or two, but for the most part, both Fielding and Goldsmith conducted their own scores.
Mort started his job as "Music Supervisor" for CBS West Coast Operations back in 1965. I also know that his other duties included arranging and overseeing much of the CBS music being composed at the time - such is the case of the "Cinmeron Strip" theme, composed by Maurice Jarre, where Mort needed to step in and basically arrange and develop that theme, as heard in the series - and what a theme it turned out to be!...:-)

Do you know who Morton Stevens replaced? Herschel Burke Gilbert, who left C.B.S. due to corporate meddling. By the way, David Whittaker DID conduct Fielding's score for "Lawman". Unfortunately, "The Homecoming" came during a rather low period when Goldsmith scored mostly television films for nearly two years, and his career didn't get rejuvenated until his score for "Papillion" got him an Oscar nomination. And I'm still waiting for a C.D. release for "The Brotherhood Of The Bell".

One of Morton Stevens' first assignments as C.B.S.' West Coast Music Director was conducting Hugo Friedhofer's score for the "Rawhide" episode "Six Weeks To Bent Fork" (Friedhofer only occasionally conducted).

Yes, I have this score on the "Music From CBS Westerns" CD that the Film Music Society put out a few years back - great CD!...:-)

Lukas, if it's not giving too much away, what other stuff is in this collection of CBS stuff at UCLA? Anything by Morton Stevens by any chance? As MRAudio has said, he did some really wonderul stuff for CBS made-for-TV movies in the early to mid 70's.

He also scored Irwin Allen's 1985 T.V.M. star studded adaptation of "Alice In Wonderland". Hmmm....I wonder if Goldsmith's score for "The Brotherhood Of The Bell" is in the collection of C.B.S. music at U.C.L.A.?

While on the subject of Jerry Fielding
Here is a bad new recording of the long version of the title theme from THE BIONIC WOMAN that is available from BSX RECORDS on ITUNES:
Ford A. Thaxton
....And this version also opens the latest in the series of Joe Harnell BW scores, which I should hopefully be receiving soon:

Not bad at all really, from the sample!

Finally got this today and I just love it. Great main title. This may be mono, but it's good mono, clean, not muddy or flat.

Man, this is great! Jump through hoops if you have to, but get it.

Hi, I know that Lukas had been trying to get this out for 11 years, but I've been waiting passively with my arms crossed for 35 years for someone to do it. So thanks Lukas! But, would you all refrain from buying it until my wife gives me my 20 dollars pocket money? Probably some time towards the end of September. She might let me combine it with the MGM TV box if plied with wine. When's that MGM box due out anyway?

*Two* acid cues for a TV movie that's not an "After School Special"??? Fantastic!
