It's a terrific set. I'd like to have heard a little more of the music from composers other than Lalo (such as Benny Golson), but of course I understand the idea behind ensuring that all the Schifrin scores were given the fullest representation in the set.
Over the Summer I did a rewatch of all seven seasons and I realised how much music was retracked over the course of the series, and how so little new music was written towards the end.
The whole CD package - booklet, design, Jon Burlingame's notes and the scores themselves - were brilliantly done.

I don't know that there 'scores missing' - that's not what I meant, merely that the fullest representation of music seemed to be of Schifrin's music. Understandably so.

Too bad, Jerry Fielding's scores are not complete as well as Robert Prince's scores. But on the whole, it's a very good boxset.
Thank you Thomas, that's more what I meant. And yes it's a great boxset!

Another poorly represented composer that was essential to season 3 and 4 was Richard Markowitz. A name associated to The Wild Wild West.
He was, although I have to admit I was never that enthusiastic about his M:I music (and some of his WWW scores also underwhelmed me). I'd certainly liked to have hear more material from Golson, Fielding, Prince and so forth. I must say I also liked Jack Urbont's very dramatic and grand scoring, having been reaquainted with it while watching the blu-rays.

Compared to the 1992 GNP Crescendo sampler CD, it is a giant step for MISSION’s aficionados.
As Simon states, Schifrin gets the best representation and if a MANNIX boxset would appear, that will be in the same vein, meaning Schifrin first.
I'd love a MANNIX set, but alas, I remain sceptical...
