The MuTel library (Music for Television) contains film music by Herschel Burke Gilbert from 1956 and earlier.
I'm not sure if MuTel has any music from 1957 onwards, but I see a spread of Gilbert's music cues from his film scores between 1950 and 1956 inside the 2-CD release by Laurel Records on their THE RIFLEMAN soundtrack.
For those FSMers who did not get THE RIFLEMAN, it may not be known that the 'bonus' (disc #2) is mostly music from early '50s cinema that was later tracked into television programs.
I myself did not realize this until I purchased a copy of THE RIFLEMAN in 2020.
My mind cannot help but wonder how much music from these films (which I've compiled below) exist in this MuTel library. The MMM label made an album (years ago) on Project Moon Base with Open Secret as a bonus.
The rest of the library is, apparently, untapped for further soundtrack albums.
I, for one, would be very interested in THE THIEF from 1952 because this film has no dialogue and Gilbert's music for this was nominated for an award. There are a couple of Fritz Lang films here, 2 Premingers ... as well as a couple of Don Siegel movies.
I also find the Arnold Laven-directed items (Vice Squad + Without Warning!) contain dramaticly engaging music (according to the few cues from these in the 2nd CD on THE RIFLEMAN).
Since MMM has ceased producing soundtrack CDs, perhaps other labels such as Dragon's Domain or Kritzerland (maybe even Caldera) could tap into Gilbert's MuTel for future releases?
