Continuing SEASON 2:
One of the missing episodes popped up a few weeks ago, so I was able to solve the composer and now I can cover it. "One of the Girls in Research" By: Billy Goldenberg (as William Goldenberg) https://ok.ru/video/6302882466307 (in Spanish) Alternative link: https://ok.ru/video/6266120768187 (in Spanish) Highlights: 0:50 in. Something I could easily imagine hearing in "Columbo".^(unusable from this load because of dub over reading credits) 7:42 in.^ 9:32 in.^ 17:52/1:08:07 in. Short percussion-only cue. Then another like it later.^ 19:02 in.^ 27:46 in.^ 34:06 in.^ 35:20 in.^ 37:11 in.^ 45:28 in.^ 51:09/52:08 in.^ 58:22 in.^(open/1:05:00) Good score. Seems to come in four different styles. (NtM: 18:58)

Continuing SEASON 1
Going back to episodes that were not available back when I did this thread and even after for a long time, until recently. "Collectors' Edition" "Music Score": Dominic Frontiere https://archive.org/embed/the.-name.of.the.-game.-pilot.-fame.is.the.-name.of.the.-game/The.Name.of.the.Game.S01E04.Collectors.Edition.avi Highlights: 11:38 in. 16:42 in. The restaurant source cue.^ 21:01 in.^ 24:27 in. The action music which was re-worked slightly for "Search" (a series that also starred Tony Franciosa) and then again perfected for "Vega$".^ 29:0 in. Another restaurant source cue. 39:23 in. And after the commercial break another "Vega$" action cue, on the lighter side.^ 50:18 in.^ 54:09 in. 56:30 in.^ 1:08:21 in. I cited most of the score. Frontiere was also an associate producer on this episode. (NtM: 2:20, 8:25, 50:07) "The Black Answer" "Music Score": Dominic Frontiere https://archive.org/details/the.-name.of.the.-game.-pilot.-fame.is.the.-name.of.the.-game/The.Name.of.the.Game.S01E13.The.Black.Answer.avi (muffled mono sound; way too poor for suite use) Highlights: 2:47 in.^ 4:22 in. 16:38 in. And the cue after the commercial break.^ 29:09 in.^ 53:36 in.^ 57:12 in.^ Large parts of this episode features no scoring. Frontiere was also an associate producer on this episode. "The Incomparable Connie Walker" "Music Score": Dominic Frontiere https://archive.org/details/the.-name.of.the.-game.-2 (surprisingly good sounding and good looking for a long missing episode recorded off TV) Highlights: 8:09 in.^ 20:44 in. 29:20 in.^ 32:53 in.^ 40:11 in. And the cue after the commercial break (more "Vega$" action music).^ 46:04 in. 52:10 in.^ 53:16 in.^ 56:53 in.^ 58:14 in.^ 1:02:58 in.^ 1:05:05 in.^ 1:08:56 in.^ EDIT: OOPS! I already covered this one! Sorry. Once again, I have cited most of the episode score. Frontiere was also an associate producer on this episode. Out-of-context quotes... Blonde Woman: "Always on top." Blonde Woman: "Okay, I'm spell-bound -- take advantage of me." Still two episodes missing from the season, and thus still two composer credits yet to be solved.

Continuing SEASON 2:
Going back to cover episodes that were missing at the time I did this thread, and even after for a long time. Sadly, still about a handful of episodes are missing. "Lady on the Rocks" "Music Score": Robert Prince https://ok.ru/video/7483950828180 (in Spanish) (load can't be used for suites purposes because a guy talks over the opening montage cue, reading out the cast/crew credits, where a proper English load would be music only) Highlights: 0:51 in.^ 3:38 in.^ 11:49 in.^ 14:26 in. Source music for the wedding party, which I don't think back then anybody would have played at their wedding. 19:49 in.^ 44:00/47:10 in.^ 1:03:10 in. Continues after the commercial break, and picks up and becomes a little more dramatic and a tad faster.^ 1:05:56 in.^ 1:09:37 in.^ I cited most of the score. What I did cite was good and on a set of season two scoring, I'd include all the cues I cited and nothing else. "The Prisoner Within" "Music Score": Billy Goldenberg (as "William Goldenberg") https://archive.org/details/the.-name.of.the.-game.-3/The.Name.of.the.Game.S02E09.Prisoner.Within.avi Highlights: 0:00 in.^ 8:24 in.^ 12:34 in.^ 15:23 in.^ 18:00 in.^ 20:41 in.^ 21:36 in.^ 25:09 in.^ 26:23 in.^ 28:10 in. And the cue after the commercial break.^ 37:44 in.^ 41:01 in.^ 43:37 in.^ 53:40 in.^ 59:44 in. 1:07:59 in. Takes a bit to get going.^ 1:12:59 in.^ Atypical score and what I would deem one of the series' best. A unusual score like this is certainly is from the pen of Goldenberg. Off kilter, striking use of percussion that creates contrast from what's on screen, and unusual ideas and approaches. (Note to Me: 6:07, 1:14:21)) Colonel: "I don't have a good side."

I've done serious updating to the series today. I've added new links to a ton of episodes, including track job ones, solved many episodes (a bunch of track jobs, some repeat composers, and one new contributing composer), and added alternative links. So as it stands right now, the only episodes I have not solved are: "The Revolutionary" "The Suntan Mob" "The Emissary" "The Civilized Men" "High Card" "The Skin Game" "Man of the People" "The Man Who Killed a Ghost" A small number of these have links to the episodes, but the end credits cut off before the music credit.

Continuing SEASON 3:
"Battle at Gannon's Bridge" By: Billy Goldenberg https://ok.ru/video/6262564588219 (full end credits) https://ok.ru/video/7486669654676 (in Spanish) (cuts off EXACTLY at where the composer credit would come next) Highlights: 0:49 in.^(unusable because of credits being read out loud in Spanish) 14:26 in. 18:17 in. 22:25 in.^(22:47) 36:50 in. There's your evil 1970's vampire stalking you at night music.^ 40:07 in.^ 41:39 in. Feel-good delightful music that just massages your ears and tells you it's the 1970's again.^ 51:34 in. I miss scoring like this. Going to be sweet to own this on CD one day.^ 58:35 in.^ 1:04:09 in. 1:09:37 in.^ (NtM: 9:22, 45:31) "The Enemy Before Us" "Music Score": Lennie Hayton https://ok.ru/video/6262475131579 (full end credits) https://ok.ru/video/7486669261460 (in Spanish) (cuts off before the composer credit) This is presumably the only effort by Hayton for the series. Highlights: 4:13 in.^(unusable because of credits being read out loud in Spanish) 8:10 in. Sounds like a continuation of the above cue; the two can probably be combined on a set of season three scoring.^ 21:00 in.^ 27:43 in.^ 52:22/1:00:55 in.^ 1:06:00 in.^ 1:09:27 in.^ Due to the nature of the setting of the episode, there is a lot of source music, a number of which are probably arrangements of pre-existing pieces. I don't think I would take any of these for a set of season three scoring. I can't really decide if -- based upon this effort -- it was a good thing or nor Lennie didn't do any further episodes. Orson Wells provides a voice. When Barry Shear's credit for directing and producing the episode appears, the guy speaking Spanish says "Richards". Suuurrreee, that could be Spanish for Barry Schear.

Continuing SEASON 3:
"I Love You, Billy Baker: Part 1" (10) "Music Score": Benny Carter https://ok.ru/video/6266121030331 (full end credits) (in Spanish) (sound quality too poor for suite use) https://ok.ru/video/7486668278420 (in Spanish) (sound quality too poor for suite use) Highlights: 0:49 in. 8:47 in.^(unusable because of credits being read loud in Spanish) 30:15 in.^ 55:36 in. I think this might be tracked Frontiere.^ 59:55 in.^ 1:02:05 in.^ 1:04:42 in.^ 1:06:29 in. 1:09:24 in.^ Due to the nature of the episode and all the musical guest stars, the episode is song heavy. Aside from maybe one or two source cues, I otherwise cited the entire score. Also guest starring: Sammy Davis, Jr., Ray Charles, Redd Foxx, "Ike & Tina Turner". For the guys here: 46:04 in. You're welcome. "I Love You, Billy Baker: Part 2" (11) By: Benny Carter https://ok.ru/video/6266120309435 (full end credits) (sound quality too poor for suite use) https://ok.ru/video/7486668081812 (in Spanish) (sound quality too poor for suite use) Highlights: 0:51 in. Fast percussion and brass lead this cue.^(unusable because of credits being read loud in Spanish) 6:55 in.^(unusable because of Spanish voiceover) 40:01 in. More fast percussion^ 47:51 in.^ 57:41 in.^ 1:03:20 in.^ Aside from one score cue and may one or two source cues, I have once again otherwise cited the entire score. One of the series best efforts. I wonder if Sammy tried to lobby at all for Morton Stevens to score this. I don't speak Spanish, though I know a few words, and in the end closing I think Sammy is saying he's going to Hell, over and over again, in this episode which aired in 1970. In 1973, he would of course, star in a failed pilot called "Poor Devil", where he was dead and in Hell.

Continuing SEASON 3:
"The Man Who Killed a Ghost" (17) By: ????? https://ok.ru/video/6261919320763 (in Spanish) (quality too poor for suite use) NOTE: There are no loads with the end credits, so I don't know if this is a track job or has an original score, so in the chance there is a credited composer, I am covering it. If at a later date I find out it's a track-job effort, I'll amend my post to reflect that. Highlights: 0:00 in. I think this is from "I Love You, Billy Baker: Part 2" (up to 0:25, then it switches to something else). 13:33 in.^ 43:53 in.^ 50:38 in.^ 51:51 in. 53:10 in.^ 1:01:41 in. Some of the ending is missing. Based upon how all over the place the score is, and one cue I identified, I would say this is a track-job effort. Now the Spanish guy is saying "Barry Shear" has "Beatbat Schwish-erds".
