Alert!
Voyage to the bottom of the low stock pile.
The final pressings of this 4-CD set are now in the low stock category @ La-La Land.
(shall we start a countdown ... such as "Eleven Days to Zero"?)

Congratulations on the sales. Glad this sold one-thousand units.

Glad to see this is nearly sold out too. I know these sets of older music can be tough to put together and sell by our labels. I doubt they make much profit from them, maybe even taking a loss. I don't know how much other great music there is for Voyage, but let's hope this leads to a Volume 2 set.

Good to see $60 4CD sets of older music like this sell out 1000 copies relatively promptly (see also: awesome Paramount Westerns box, Wild Wild West box). Hopefully it bodes well for more in the future.

Congrats! Still infinitely grateful for this release. Purchased multiple copies and spread the wealth. Cash at the ready for a second volume. (fingers crossed).

We do have the "Phantom Strikes" music, "Attack," "The Deadly Dolls" and most of the remaining scores from the color episodes--sound is variable but most of it is releasable, enough for another 4-CD set, but that will depend on sales of this set. Get the hint?
I got the hint loud and clear. Credit card at the ready!!!

If anything, I'd say GOLDSMITH was annoyed his theme was dropped and turned down offers. If Irwin didn't like his music, you'd never have heard it in so many other episodes of the series.
Also, Allen may have taken some time to "figure out" Goldsmith's score and theme for JONAH AND THE WHALE. Admittedly, the theme didn't sound seafaring or adventurous, but it beautifully captured the mystery and awe of the deep. And while I'm speculating, I can well imagine music editor Len Engel noticing how nimble Goldsmith's motif was, and how well it lent itself to editing the music into future episodes.

Transcription of "Favo(u)rites from VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA" from the other side of the board:
A&C still hasn't listed his favorite episodes.
Must we guess?
What do you think A&C's #1 is?
I'll start by saying it's either "The Terrible Leprechaun" or "Deadly Creature Below".
@ ZardozSpeaks: Better late than never.
1) The Return of the Phantom
2) The Enemies
3) The Cyborg
4) The Fear-Makers
5) Deadly Waters
6) The Death Watch
7) No Way Back
8) Leviathan
9) Man of Many Faces
10) The Exile
Favorite scores:
1) Jonah and the Whale
2) The Cyborg
3) Leviathan
4) Monster from the Inferno
5) The Left-Handed Man
------------------------------------
Thanks, A&C.
Our faves are not dissimilar. Half of our lists contain the same episodes (in different order).
I'm curious, though, how A&C assesses soundtracks by Friedhofer and the non-Irwin Allen scores of Sawtell.
While you love the scripts & directors of the black-n-white 1st season, it seems you are less sympathetic towards 'older' Hollywood music styles.
The MMM label & Intrada (& a few others) have championed Sawtell & Shefter albums; what are your thoughts on those in comparison with Sawtell's TV Voyage?

In general, I'm more of a Silver Age guy than Golden, with massive, massive exceptions of course. I do have a handful of Sawtell and /or Shefter soundtracks (Jack the Giant Killer, Five Weeks in a Balloon, Kronos, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea - movie), and Voyage is the only one I go back to regularly (for the more impressionistic elements), although I do enjoy all of them.
I'd also have to rewatch the first season of Voyage in order to connect the music to the various composers if I were to give you a more comprehensive answer.

A decent selection of S&S titles there.
If you don't mind Zardoz speaking so, the Sawtell & Shefter albums that I like the most are all unmentioned above.
The first of my (unsolicited but hopefuly not unwelcomed) recommendations is the 1959 Virgin Sacrifice (MMM) which showcases S&S providing music in a different aural territory than the typical fare they were/(are?) associated with.
Next is The Last Man on Earth (1964), followed by 1958's It! The Terror From Beyond Space (both MMM as well)
Since 20th Century Studios has no existing elements from VOYAGE's 1st season, VOYAGE fans might consider the titles above to satisfy any Paul Sawtell 'fix' they may crave.
Consider, also, The Young Lions as a possible supplement to the 4-disc set because portions of this Friedhofer WWII movie were tracked into the "Doomsday" segment from season 1.
Listen, if you will, to FSM's CD on The Wreck of The Mary Deare and behold a nautical suspense score that sounds as if it would not be out-of-place tracked into a VOYAGE episode. I say - George Duning should've written music for VOYAGE.

As one of your favorite segments is "The Exile", re-watching it should not be a chore I trust.
This was the final segment that Sawtell wrote for; I recall "The Exile" being a partial score, though, if I remember correctly.
Of course, we are familiar with "Eleven Days to Zero". Here are the other 1st season episodes with music by Sawtell:
"The Village of Guilt"
"The City Beneath the Sea"
"Hot Line"
"Submarine Sank Here"
"Long Live the King"
"The Exile"
Friedhofer completed 2 scores on his own ("The Mist of Silence" & "Turn Back the Clock") but his other 2 assignments ("The Fear-Makers" & "The Price of Doom") were co-composed with Alexander Courage (obstensibly due to time deadlines). Of late, I ponder upon Lionel Newman engaging Lennie Hayton for subsequent seasons to fill the void generated by Friedhofer's departure from Irwin Allen productions.
I'll be going through the episodes on the weekend. Back to you shortly.

I'll definitely acquire The Last Man on Earth based on samples and your input. I'll also be checking The Young Lions and The Wreck of The Mary Deare. I agree, Mr. Duning would have been well suited to score Voyage episodes, albeit a bit more emotionally than those who actually worked on the show. It's a safe bet that he would have created a very different soundscape for an episode like Leviathan for instance. I can well imagine Duning scoring the episode from the Cara Sloane point of view, instead of the SciFi/giant creatures plot points.

I've spent the last 20+ years getting Fox scores which were used on Voyage. If you really want to have a nice representation of the library music used in the series, seek out:
The Young Lions
The Enemy Below
The Last Wagon
Rains of Ranchipur
Garden of Evil
Five Fingers
Between Heaven and Hell
Soldier of Fortune
Hell or High Water
The Snake Pit
King of the Khyber Rifles (this with Rains makes for a decent representation of The Mummy episode)
The Day the Earth Stood Still was used in the first season in The Indestructible Man.
